Hey, I'm Anne. I'm 26 and currently living in Reno. I'm finishing my Bachelor's in a little more than a month then I'll be moving to Sacramento where I am from originally. I started Weight Watchers April 13, 2011 and I was seeing great losses until July when I began having long and frustrating plateaus. I started trying out MFP at the beginning of October and so far I'm loving it! I've lost 6lbs on MFP and 27+ since starting my weight loss journey altogether. I think understanding what I'm eating in real numbers rather than points is really working for me.

hi! i'm gem. i recently turned 20 last september. i just joined MFP this month after some great reviews on Tumblr. i'm single, will be taking my board exams next year to get my registered nurse ID. i love MOVIES, books and coffee, though i stayed off from my favorite cup for a while now coz i need to lose weight.


so uhm... yeah add me! thanks!:bigsmile:

My name is Ellie, I'm 22 and from London, England. Today's my first day on MFP, if this is going to work better than any diet I've had before I'm going to need help and support!

I'm 23y/o, work full time, married to my best friend, and have a son who will be turning 3 in July 2012. My husband and I had a New Year's resolution last year to lose weight.... and I lost a total of 40 lbs, but have gained about 15 back. I want to lose that, as well as an additional 15 or 25 lbs.

I just joined MFP, and have posted my January 2012 goals which include: losing 10 lbs (might seem like a lot but I think the first 10 lbs will be easy since the last month has been spent eating and drinking), logging my food/exercise on MFP, and staying dedicated to the cardio classes I've registered for at the gym.

Hello! I'm Danielle, 23 years old from CT! I joined MFP Dec 5 for many reasons! I just graduated college and have no clue what I can do a my bachelors degree so I plan to go back and finish my nursing degree since it is where my heart is! I love life and am usually very happy so I want my outside me to match the inside I'm ready to change and dedicate my life to living heathy and happily!

We tend to all update there far more often. I think the group has totally fallen to the way-side, actually... :ohwell:

hey,
on here. gonna do it right. anyone who wants to friend me, please do, i'm a good supporter and could use support myself.

Hi, I'm Kari. I'm a 26 year old woman living in southeast Wisconsin. I'm a teacher (teaching kindergarten this year, past two years I taught first grade) for now, but will be going back to school full time in September to get a B.S. in Healthcare Administration w/ a minor in Business Administration.

I'm recently engaged and would like to get down to 125lbs before we get married (we haven't set a date yet). I started at 150.2 and am now 146.2. Just started MFP yesterday.

I have Type 1 diabetes (almost 20 years now) and use an insulin pump to help me control it.

Use this thread to introduce yourself.

Add age, fav activities, location and anything else you want us to know!!

Howdy everyone!!!! How are ya'll?? I am Elizabeth from Dallas, Texas. I am 26 years old. I joined MFP a couple of months ago, and I am glad that I did. I currently work as a solution architect for a fortune 100 company, but will be going back to school in the fall to pursue pharmacy. (ugh going back to school...its been forever.)

I love to do everything but my favorite activities is running, dancing, singing, and playing sports (Way too competitive...). I am part-time fitness instructor and personal trainer. I teach all formats except yoga. My favorite class to teach is Zumba and Dance Jam. I usually participate in 5-6 sprint races a year. Feel free to add me as a friend. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

You guys can find our monthly goals and updates in this thread - The group is pretty well defunked, as far as I can tell....

Hi I am Laura, I am 26 living in Massachusetts..at home now..and working with children in a daycare center. I weigh 150 now and want to be at 130 and get into single digit jean sizes again. I love Zumba, boxing training, I was running but fell out of it. I love using the Xbox Kinect dancing games to work out too, I was a DDR player about five years ago too.i live near the beach and the woods so I do like to be outside, walking my dog usually. I'm looking to get more motivation by learning from others, hopefully get back out dating again. ::flowerforyou:

I hope this group still alive. I am Al. I am ashamed to admit this, but I have heard the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am overweight. I am a binge-eater, and I need help to quit binge eating forever. The day before I began my fitness pal I consumed approximately 8,830 calories in one day, and it wasn't even a special occasion. I calculated it. Though, I am sure there were many days in which I consumed more than this. In fact, I don't know if that day would even make my top 100 binge-eating days, but I never calculated how many calories I consumed those other days. One day I ate two medium full-size delivery pizzas loaded with toppings. Another day, my mother gave me a huge extremely sweet, rich, and chocolatey ice cream cake for my birthday, and I ate the entire cake within two days except for two small slices. In December, I went to the movie theater, and just while watching one film I consumed 3 jumbo popcorn containers with extra butter by myself. I think I could talk about my binge-eating failures for hours. However, when I am not binge-eating I eat mostly low-calorie healthy food. When I am not binge-eating I am a strong proponent for saving the environment and eating healthy, and when I am binge eating I feel like a hypocrite. Though, I love good tasting food so much that I feel like I could eat it forever. I really appreciate food that makes my taste senses explode with joy. I also binge-eat during almost all celebrations or when I am depressed. Additionally, when I am not binge-eating I think very few people eat healthier than me. I have been doing okay recently, but I do not know when I will not be able to resist the urge to binge eat again. To complicate things I am a Christian, and in Christianity over eating is considered the sin of gluttony. I am trying to get in shape because 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV reads: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." Thus, I really want to get in as good of shape as possible spiritually and physically. Though, I may need some support.
