in Introduce Yourself
I am just getting started on this weight loss/fitness/healthier me journey! I am morbidly obese and have more than 200 lbs to lose, that is almost overwhelming to think about so I will take it pound by pound instead. Just joined a fitness/nutrition program and will be working out 6 days a week for the first time in my life.

I sure could use some friends on here that might be able to help keep me motivated and inspired, and of course I would do my best to do the same for them. Thanks!

    I just started a fitness/nutrition class last night. It includes a workout class 6 times a week and nutrition education, it will be the hardest but most rewarding thing I have ever done for myself. I have sent you a friend request, thanks so much!

    I'm just starting here too. I've finally had enough of worrying whether everyone's judging the fat girl for eating in public. Here's to the start of an exciting (but difficult) journey...

    I have just started today and would love to add some friends as well ,I will add a pic tonite. I have been on this weight loss roller coaster most of my adult life and I am finally tired of making excuses for myself. I have about 100 lbs to lose and I just need to stay with it everyday. Kris

    You may add me as a friend. I have been using mfp for quite some time but I don't have many friends to give or receive support. I would love to have friends around the same age as me because weight loss sure gets harder with age. I have considered myself a professional YoYo Dieter, you name it, I've tried it and I just need to get in the right frame of mind, find some energy and lose the lbs for good!
