in Introduce Yourself
Hello my name is Ashley, I am new here to my fitnesspal. I have heard so many great things about this place, and have seen people actually lose a lot of weight here. I was with weight watchers, but when I found out I can do the same thing here for free, I dropped them lol. I would love to have some friends, I weigh 318, I just found this out and i am disgusted. I am trying to lose 150 pounds. I believe having support friends is perfect, because you do not feel your doing it alone. I look forward to meeting you, and am glad I decided to join here. Thank you all for your time :)

    Welcome!
    Other people use this site instead of or in conjunction with other plans such as Weight Watchers. There are groups for people with particular interests, including a few for people with over 100 pounds they wish to lose. You can use what you learned in WW, and add to it.
    Best wishes!

    (I don't add friends until I know someone a bit, but others are more willing to add people.)

    I've been going on MFP for about a month and it's going well so far. I live near London and have two sons. I have lost weight before but it came back and I'd like to make myfitnesspal a lifelong tool so that I steadily take it off and then stay healthy. I'd love some friends on here ;-)

    please add me, i am new on here, and would love a support system online to help me celebrate the daily accomplishments...
    i struggle daily with my weight and self image... i think at my largest i was close to 200lbs, but i refused to step on a scale after 189, so not for sures on where i started at... but i just weighed myself moments ago, 161lbs and feeling good enough about it that i am willing to state publicly ONE HUNDRED SIXY ONE POUNDS!! i still have a ways to go and would love some support!!
