in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Jodi and today was my 18th day on MFP. I love it so far. It definitely helps to keep me honest. Just the thought of putting in those extra few calories I think about sneaking makes me think twice about the decisions I make.

I'm 29 years old and I'm from Louisville, KY. I'm married to my best friend of almost 11 years (we just got married in May of 2011). I am a full time Psychology student and work full time as a Client Account Specialist for a pharmaceutical logistics company. I am currently aiming to lose 100 pounds (although a few more than that wouldn't hurt). I started the year at 312 pounds and I currently weigh in at 305.2. I would like to be out of the plus sizes before my 30th birthday, but will be super happy to just see 200 pounds.

I'm looking for people to befriend during my journey that I can support and who can also support me. I'm also looking for people who have already lost this amount (or more!) and are willing to share their wisdom with me. Any advice or suggestions are always eagerly accepted.

Good luck to everyone and I hope to hear from you soon!

    Hey there! I am looking to lose 100 lbs too. And my daughter says I need some friends on here to support me anyway! So I am now looking to give and get support on this go around. I travel a bunch and am always eating out! I love food and love to eat. So losing 100 lbs isn't going to be as easy as putting it on. Add me too if you would like.

    I've got lots of family down in Louisville - nice town, but crazy drivers! :)
    Welcome to MFP! I've been here a few months and really love it - it's very much changed how I choose food.

    Nice to meet you!

    I signed up for MFP about a year ago, but something in me said it was time to take is seriously. So today is the day I count as day one, and I want to lose 125 pounds. I will lose 125 pounds It is fantastic to know there is place where people can relate and support my journey and for me to support theirs! It is important to remind myself that even the jorney of a thousand miles begins with a single step...125 pounds...piece of cake! Best wishes everyone, and if you ever need support...

    If you go to Community, Groups and search, you'll find several groups that are for folks trying to lose (or have lost) 100 lbs or more.
    This one seems to be the most frequently used...
