Hey I'm Jesse I'm looking for some support and advice from MFP and take advantage of the amazing community this place provides. I am 5"0 extremely over weight 320 pounds :/ 24 years old i'm looking to change my life to start a family with my husband of 1 year :) I feel more comfortable with other women just because i'm self conscious.
thank you <3

    Thank you girls :)


    I can't wait to have children! However it's dangerous for me to even think about it because of diabetes,high blood pressure, and other complications when it comes to getting pregnant when you are this obese.. I feel so bad for my husband..

    Sending you a friend request! And yall feel free to add me too! Us women need to stick together! I too am newly married... just celebrated our 2 year. I am not overweight HOWEVER I DO feel that since we got married I have let myself go. This is a personal decision of mine to get back in shape. When we met I was very thin and that was one thing he loved about me...that I took good care of myself...then we got married...and I gained weight. I've been through 2 miscarriages and am wanting to get as healthy as possible before we start trying again because I cannot go through all that again. Whew... I totally just vented! hahahaha Anyway...add me yall!

    Hey Jesse! Welcome to MFP! :) You're def in the right place. And you can DO this!
    Everyone on MFP is so motivational - my friends got me started and I've come to discover many many more awesome people who help me along the way.
    I started and stopped and of COURSE I came back after I gained my weight back... cuz w/out MFP? I just eat and eat and eat.... sigh. It will really help to actually SEE what you're putting in your body!
    So glad you're here! Feel free to add me! I'll be your support if you be mine! :)

    Hey there! I was actually told the reason I was not getting pregnant was because of my weight. ( We have been trying for 8 years) Feel free to add me, I know I couldn't do it without my friend's support! The motivation from everyone is great here.

    tnk you. Its ever easy and you never get used to it. I was actually at the low part of my healthy weight the first time and I got pretty depressed after and started gaining. I've gained about 20 pounds since we got married and I'd like to just lose about 10-15 pounds and i'll be happy. I think i am still in my healthy weight but at the high part. I am 5'4' and 135 pounds... I'd really like to get to 120 or 125. Ok now i'm rambling lol I am a yo yo dieter...and i take hold of every fad diet that comes out. I joined this site so i could learn how to just eat right. To lose my 10-15 pounds and then maintain it from then on
