in Introduce Yourself
Hey, my name is Ashley. I'm a 27 yr old, married mommy of 2 young children from Ohio and I've decided enough is enough. I need to lose this weight if I want to see my children grow up and my grandchildren to come. I'm not gonna say that I'm going to try and lose it. I'm going to say I WILL lose it. I am determined and consider myself blessed to have stumbled across MFP to begin with. Would love to share in my journey with ya'll. Keeping whomever I come across in prayers that you reach your goal too! Let's do this!

    I've been on MFP for about 2 months and it is great motivation! Having friends on it really helps out by just commenting & sharing your story! I'm 19 yrs old and have lost a total of 24 lbs so far. My goal is to lose a total of 70 lbs! I know I can do it with all the motivation so everyone feel free to add me!

    Just be careful with the scale.. I kind of am addicted to it, as in I weigh myself everyday which I know I shouldn't do. haha Good luck!!

    Hey everyone! Im also looking for friends!!! I signed up months ago, school started back up... and so did my scale. Ive actually stayed the same for awhile. I have my on and off days, but Im realizing I need to only do school work and stay on this site non-stop until I get back into the swing of things. I would love to have more friends to keep kicking me into gear!

    Hi! I have been on for over 40 days now. I have lost 24 pounds so far. I'm doing 50 at a time. So I can reach a goal and feel good about it. Then on to the next 50 and so on. Anyone who needs encouragement may add me. Next month I took a challenge to burn 15000 calories for the month. It should be interesting because I'm a couch potato. Well good luck everyone Debra

    Hey, I'm Heather. I'm 23. I just started about a month ago and so far I have lost 10 pounds. I am looking to lose about 120 pounds all together. The more friends that you have the easier it is to stay on track! Feel free to add me! :)
