in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,
I recently came across the MFP app and from there found my way to the site. After a disastrous and humiliating session with a weight loss group when I was in my teens, all my weight loss attempts have been silent struggles with myself. I've tried lots of diets with varying success, but the weight always comes back. And the heavier I get, the more I tend to isolate myself. Sound familiar to anybody?

Maybe if I get some outside help and encouragement (and of course give it back too!) I will be able to finally take the weight off and keep it there? I'm hoping it's time for me to break the cycle I've been stuck in for all these years and finally make a real change. :)

If my ramblings haven't turned you off, then I would really appreciate some friend invites. Looking forward to hearing from you! ( ^ ^)

    Thanks so much, all! I must admit I'm rather overwhelmed by all the support - in a good way, of course!

    I'm hoping to lose all of my 17kg goal - never managed to lose more than 7kg or so before I would blow right back up.

    Thanks for all of the kind words of support. i'll do my best to be supportive of all of you as well! \(@^-^@)/

    Hi! I have been doing this a few weeks and have lost 12 pounds already. Losing weight is definitely a struggle. I have still have about 88 more pounds to go. I love this site and have found (and given) all kinds of positive encouragement! I will send a friend request as well! :)
