in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

My name is Mike, and I just wanted to say hey! I just came across myfitnesspal a couple days ago and I already love it. I started losing weight about a year ago and I was at a whopping 415 pounds, just ridiculous. Fortunately I have gotten down to 330, but it is certainly getting tougher and tougher, which is where friends come in!

I'm 20 years old, and I go to school in Wilmington, NC, which is a beach area so it sucks being in this area and really not getting to use it for everything I'd like.

Anyway, please add me if you'd like, especially if you are in similar situations!

Thanks!

    I'm not in a similar situation. I'm in my 30s and have a wonderful son. I'm always interested in supportive friends, so I'm sending a friend request

    Hi mike. I am new too. Started today. I love fitness pal so far. I can relate to you. I lost 122 lbs. I was so close to my goal and then during my wedding planning I lost all self control and gained 20 lbs back. I get so frustrated because I always get so close to my goal but the weight is much harder to get off that I end up giving up for a while. I am hoping to get to my goal by the summer. July 7th is my two year anniversary and I would like to be at or near my goal I wish you tons of success. Melissa

    Hi Mike!

    That is quite the achievement! I'm impressed and inspired. I have about 100lbs to lose and it is much easier with a cheering squad behind you :)
    Add me up!

    Great job losing as much weight as you already have!!! I know how being in a beach area (I live in VA) and not getting to use it can be! But keep up the good work!
