in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am new to MFP and was looking to maybe make some friends. I really like the idea of this site, and though I just started, I have found it very helpful so far.

My name is Kyle and I am a 27 year old female living in upstate New York. Last year I surpassed my previous highest weight and finally decided that I needed a life change, not just a quick fix. I lost 25 lbs over the course of about 5 months, but then began to stagnate. A close friend recommended MFP, and I have to say, I am more excited and optimistic than I have been in a while. I also quit smoking a little over a month ago after being a smoker for more than half my life and I am finding it harder to stay on track.

Every day is a challenge. I think about weight loss several times a day, and I want my life to be more than that. I have a deep desire to be helthier and to return to the confidence level I once had, and was hoping to find some other people who felt the same way.

    Hi u can add me for support. First of all I suggest you should keep logging your food, also try to go the healthy route that is what I do but mind you we are human and there are some craving especially with you quiting smoking. I am reading a great book that helps you make a lifestyle change for u plus there is healthy recipes in it. Dont stress to much about losing weight yes we all want to but with disipline, eat the right amount but life doesnt work that way.

    I need help with my eating style. I either binge or fast. Its alters my mood. I don't want to live like this anymore. This is my attempt to eat normal. I used to fast to loose weight. Now I am going to eat to loose weight. Eat right, eat less. I hate to admit this weakness, but I know eventually this will effect my health. And I want to feel good about myself. When I binge I want to stay away and hide. That does not fit in my life style. I am a people person and in a service ministry. And here is the thing. When I eat right, I feel good and am productive. I am hoping myfitnesspal will give me the focus and ability to use food in a normal manner. I am 130lbs and my goal weight is 118lbs. I wish all fellow readers of this chat much success on their program. We only have one body. Its a gift. Lets not destroy it.
