Hey everyone, I am new to MFP but already can tell it is going to help! I am 23 (almost 24) and live in Louisiana (home of every delicious, fattening, artery-clogging food known to man) so weight loss is always a challenge. I am a Social Worker, so I am pretty active during the day running around after patients, but half the time when I get home I am emotionally drained which translates to physically drained the second I sit down. I could REALLY use some motivating, supportive friends to keep me going! :smile: Feel free to add me!!

    I'm 21, I joined a while ago and used the site but not the forum for a bit but then dropped it but I'm back again now. I'm from Melbourne (Australia), 5'6 and originally weighed 60kg, now 58. I know 60kg is not overweight but I didn't feel healthy at that weight as I had no muscle and a 'pregnant' stomach. I have PCOS and recurring depression and mild chronic fatigue so my main goals are regular exercise, low sugar and wheat intake, and being mindful of what I eat (I have a big problem with emotional eating).

    This site really helped and is still helping me I was at 314 down to 284 and I count my calories and if you have a smart phone it helps because then you always have the app :) I also joined curves it cost a lot but it works :) only three times a week for thirty mins and you see results :)
