feel free to add me, as I also live in Missouri! This site really does work, you just need to be honest and keep up! Start small...maybe you are not ready for exercise yet, but cutting calories and making good food choices are a good place to start! Also, fill out your profile so people can get to know you better...it helps in finding supportive friends!0

Hi Maria! I am a SAHM to 4 and I also live in Missouri (near St. Louis). This is a great place to be!
eta: I meant MFP is a great place to be but I guess Missouri isn't too bad, either.0 -

You're not too big to be here, darling. My starting weight was just 9 lbs shy of 400, and I've felt nothing but supported and encouraged here. Surround yourself with positive people and you can't go wrong!!! Feel free to add me if you like, and congratulations on choosing you!!!0

No starting weight is too much to use MFP! The fact alone you want to change is the first step, now it's just incorporating the effort that comes with it. You'll find loads of supportive people on here, all who want to help you make the change, the same as they want to for themselves. Everyone's here for similar reasons. Good luck with your journey!

That you posted all this information about yourself shows you have what it takes to start this program. I have been tracking my calories and my physical activity for about 3 weeks and have lost 3 pounds. Stay w/ it and it will work for you!0

STICK with it and let others inspire you to do better for YOURSELF and for your family! Then be your own inspiration! WELCOME TO MFP!

There are plenty of people on here who weigh or have weighed that much! You have come to the right place and we cant WAIT to see your progress pics to be proud of you. Please take some now, even though you may not want to. We LOVE seeing big successes! It drives us all to be better and stronger.
At 400 pounds you have the opportunity to become a mentor for us all. From hurting your arms to type some paragraphs to running marathons and spotting your lifting partner at the gym.
Best of luck to you, we will all be here supporting you each step of the way.
Congratulations on starting the first day of the rest of your life0 -
Welcome fellow Missourian...you are in the right place. MFP is for support for ANYONE who wants to get fit. We all have that in common, no matter what our situation/weight is.
I agree with SoySalva..."follow the plan and you will lose weight." I didn't think I could do this when I joined, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Feel free to add me and I will be glad to cheer you on0 -
You're in a great place! Welcome to MFP!0
