My name is Pam & I am 26 years old, In January I decided I needed to change my life which involved losing weight to have a better life, I had never been highly overweight in my 26 years this was the first time. I was lacking activity for about 3 years straight: I figured I could lose this weight on my own & attempted to based on what I had read and heard, I was not calling it a diet, rather Pam's life change, I guess there were just pretty obvious things that needed to change, activity level, food I was eating & portions: So in a nutshell I was able to lose 38 pounds as of today: I started January 26 2009, I have recently learned of this site and have only been on a few days, but love it: It is amazing & so helpful, my mom introduced me to this site a few weeks back, I have been on for 5 days & really appreciate it so far, gives me more insight and help. I am happy to have found this. I guess I am looking for that extra push to lose the remaining weight and more than my goal if I can and keep it up. I am confident this site will help, it provides so much information, I am already overwhelmed by it and addicted at the same time to everything I am learning even just about my food intake day to day that this capures.
So I will stop spitting out all this typing: Thanks for having a read

Welcome! nice work on the initial 38 pounds. I have only been on MFP three weeks but I am so in love with this site. I have lost weight on low carb and low fat "diets" before but always gain it back. Here I can make better choices all around and still eat "normal" food and still lose weight. 2.6,2.6,2.4.
The information and the people here have been really great and I know that you will be happy here too!
I wish for you all the success you seek!0 -
