Friends wanted :)

Hi! My name is Maddy and I am such a newbie when it comes to diet and exercise. I am 31 years old and from NJ. I really don't know where to start but from reading some messages. Start Small :) And this is where I will begin. I've recently gained 20 pounds within the last year and a half and am looking to lose it and then some. I am looking for some friends for motivation so please don't hesitate to add me or if I add you...please accept me ( sounds desperate huh? lol) I am very very very open for suggestions so if you feel you can throw me some advice...message me! Nice meeting everyone!

I've received a great deal of support and encouragement from the friends of met on MFP and I would love to provide you with the same type of motivation. Feel free to add me if you like and we can help each other through this! Best of luck! :-)

    Hesitated to post on here but am needing to put myself out there so that I have a better chance of success. I'm pretty new to "using" this site though I think I signed up a while back. :) Thanks!

    If you have an iphone, ipad, or an android tablet or phone, download the app. The app is super convenient and very user friendly! You won't have access to the forums, but you can easily track your food and exercises as well as post on your own and friend's walls. Good luck! Add me if you want.
  • Love the encouragement. Welcome to MFP ADD ME :-)

    I'm newish (again) to fitness pal! I used this site to lose almost 30 lbs nearly 3 years ago now after gaining weight from pregnancy and a couple years of doing nothing about it I got on the fitnesspal mobile and it was AMAZING!

    I'm 25 years old now, I had heart surgery in Sept last year, finally got cleared to start exercising again and of course I'm gonna hop right back on this train with fitnesspal and use it to help me lose the inches the surgery and being laid up cost me! Looking to just kick start an exercise program!

    I have a goal in mind Vacation!!! is just a mere 15 days away and I have one more check up before I leave! I'm hoping to cute 6-7 lbs, but over all I'll have 10lbs to lose to be back at my pre-op weight!

    You can add me!! :)
