Hello to all! My name is Dawn and I'm 33. I was recommended to this site by my best friend of over 25 years. My goal to start is to lose 60 lbs. I can't wait to share success stories, recipes and friendship with you all. Looking for new people to be-friend.

    I'm really loving this site. I find myself on this site more than I am on Facebook.

    Hi...I just joined the beginning of January and I am excited about my journey. I am 43 and am separated with two children. Due to my impending divorce, I wanted to revamp myself; depression leed to serious weight gain. I have been exercising 4-5 times a week with my brother and I can honestly say, I look forward to it because of the way I feel afterwards. I'm ready for the new me!!

    Hey guys, I’m Lindsey. I’ve been a member of MFP for a while now but just recently started to track again and today is my first day on the boards. I’ve lost about 65lbs and wanna lose about 65lbs more. I’m currently training for my first 10k and then hopefully a half marathon by the end of the year. Looking for new friends, encouragers, advice, and anything else helpful. Wishing everyone success in their goals!!

    Hello all. I'm a newbie also; just joined a few days ago. Let's just say I'm a middle age female who never had a weight problem before, but now I need to lose 20 lbs. I love this site. I never enjoyed 'journaling' so I'd always quit doing it after about a week. But this site makes it sooo easy to record and track food and activity that I'm sure I'll stick with it. I love how it keeps a running total of calories and how I can print out a hard copy of my report if I want to.

    Hiya! I'm new here as well - I think this is day 3 or 4 for me. I was considering using Weight Watchers, but heard it can get expensive. My BFF of 30+ years told me about this site, so I thought I would give it a try. So far I love it and am on the app on my phone probably every hour! I'm 41 and need to lose just under 60 pounds; and am already down 2.2 pounds after a couple of days! Accountability is key! Friend me if you need some encouragement along the way! :bigsmile:
