in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Erika. I have been using the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone for a little over a week, and have been really enjoying it. It's really easy to use and makes you accountable for what you're eating. I've lost ten pounds already!

I didn't realize what a great support community the web version was and am hoping to make some friends and get encouragement on my journey. I have been overweight/obese my whole life and I am now at the largest weight I've ever been (350 at 5'8"). I have 100+ pounds to lose and am very determined to lose the weight this time. A support community like this is just what I need!

So please feel free to add me! I have a long journey ahead and would love to make some new friends and get and give encouragement on my long road ahead! Thanks! :)

    Hello Erika,
    I have just begun this journey and I hope this community is what keeps me going. I have started diets so many times before only to quit after a few weeks, months. I need the motivation to exercise and stop putting food into my mouth when I am not even hungry. We can all do this together and help each other.

    Hi Erika,

    I've had a similar history and I am too wanting to change. I've added you as a friend. Hopefully we can help each other stay motivated in this journey.

    I have nearly 100 pounds to lose, so lets do it together.

    Erika -- I have been on this journey for about a year so far and I have learned lots of things. I joined MFP about 6 months ago and its one of the best things I have done. One thing I know is that MFP is one AWESOME PLACE for encouragement/support/inspiration. I am sending you a FR to share these things with you as we continue our respective journeys.

    I started out the same way, just using the app on my phone and had no idea all this other stuff was available. The app is great but it is really nice to come here and get support and ideas and everything. It sounds like you've got a good start, so keep up the good works. You can do it. I'm sending you a fr :)
