in Introduce Yourself
It is so hard to see all of these young skinny girls eating whatever and whenever they feel like. I think to myself, "Well if they can eat that I should be able to too!" and so then I eat the junk food, and throughout the week I gain 5 pounds. It's an on going cycle and now I am at the most I have ever weighed, 170 pounds at 5 ft 1 inch.

I am done going through the junk food cycle! I want to be fit again!

Please add me and we will go through this journey together, because I know I will need some inspiring words.

    I'm 5'1" and I noticed I was overweight at 18, then at a healthy weight by 19. Right now at 20, I'm smack bang in the middle of my medical idle weight. So don't let other people discourage you, you'll get there!

    Adding you :)

    Hey, I'm a 21 year old recent college grad also looking to shed about 85 more pounds and get myself down to the "ideal" healthy weight for my height (5'7") I still have a long way to go but I'm finding motivation in status updates from other MFPers who are friends with me on the app. Anyone here who needs a motivation buddy, send me a friend request! Sharing your struggles on the app with your friends leads to motivation and positive encouragement during those tough days. Let's do this together!
