    Hi everyone, I am so glad my dear friend lead me here. I have about 50 more lbs. to go, being 59, it does not come off so easy anymore, and a few health issues and meds. slow things down a bit, but I will get there, with a little help from my friends!!! Red

    Hi Nina, I am also new to the group. Sounds like you have made a great start and the pounds will start to drop off before you know it. Make sure to take baby steps in the beginning and never give up. I say this from experience because I try to do too much and burn myself out with impatience. I didn't gain this weight overnight so I won't lose it that way either. This time, baby steps for a while and then the 5k marathon.

    Welcome Nina!

    I lost 55 lbs previously with WW and then I found this site. I'm just getting back on track again after gaining some of it back. I love MFP, all of the people I have met have been so very supportive and encouraging. Please feel free to add me as a friend and anyone else can add me too!! The more the better, we are all in this together.... :bigsmile: Good luck!

    It is wonderful to meet everyone, So far I have been enjoying my experience on MFP. I have met some new people and I am learning so much about myself. Thanks you for all the welcomes and the wonderful support I feel from everyone here, It is so much easier when have someone to take this journey with!

    Hi All.

    I'm Tracey, a forty something mother of 4. I have loads of weight to lose, and seem to be really struggling losing. In the past 20 years I have had numerous medical problems and procedures, plus being put on HRT in my late 20s seemed to have piled the weight on ever since.

    I decided last year that enough was enough and set myself a "walk 1million steps" target to try to get out and do something. I succeeded with that at the start of this year.

    I have now joined a gym as its too cold to be walking outside too long... and seem to have been bitten by the strength training bug.

    I hope I can encourage you all... and receive a little encouragement too.

    Good luck to everyone on their journeys

    Hi, my name is Linda. I just joined yesterdat and I have a goal of 80-100 lbs to lose. I'm 48. I know it will be a long journey, but I think I can get there. I would welcome some supportive friends, and will return that friendship and support.
