Hi all!! I'm Fallon! I joined MFP about a year ago and didn't stick to it! I am seriously motivated now and can't wait to check in throughout the day!!! I am 29 years old. I live in Florida and work the night shift as a nurse. I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children!

I am working towards losing 107lb. I am frustrated at the moment. I have been working for over a month exercising (556 minutes last week), but the scales say I have not lost weight. It is easy to become a little down.

I have recently moved to a new state, and feeling a bit isolated.

hi i'm stephanie from atlanta,
over the last 2 years i've gain 30 pounds due to eating to hide my emotions. I realized that i can't continue going down that path so i want to get health again and feel good about myself.

Hi Everyone!

I'm Ashley (26). And I joined this group, because I am finding my sexy for the first time in my life. I have always been told I was pretty and even beauitful, but I have never felt it. I want to feel sexy --- not because anyone told me, but because I think I am. And just to clarfiy, I don't feel like I need to be a supermodel size to feel that way, I just want to feel healthy.

I have actually been apart of the Fitnesspal website for some time now, but I have never really utilized it for all it's potenial. See, I have battled with my weight for most of my life and I have had a little sucess here and there, but nothing reallly substanial. I now realized that was because I didn't have ther modivation and determination to change. I have that now ... but I know that the journey is going to be hard.

As of 04.23.12, I am 370 lbs. That is not my heaviest weight I have ever been, but I have gained about twenty pounds since the start of Feburary. So I know that the best way to lose weight is to have an overall goal (which for me is to get my weight down to 180 lbs with a body fat percentage of 24%), using short term goals to get there. Currently my short term goal is to lose 30lbs by May 31, 2012.

Hi all been on MFP since January finaly decided it was time to get back in shape it was tuff in at the start. Like everybody I struggle at times and need a nudge .Im on the site daily kinda nice to see im not the only one who has to work hard to lose the weight. I go to the gym 5days a week for a 1-1.5 per day, have 3 kids 14-10-6. always looking for new friends who use the site.

Hi, I'm Carah and recently joined MFP. I wanted to continue my health venture but found I was lacking motivation and support. I have generally always been a big kid, even though I was a very athletic child. I played lots of sports, but have always been big. I was my heaviest and weighed in at 267# and decided it was time to kick it into gear. I find my biggest issue is food! I love to eat good food, and usually it's really bad food. This problem kills me but I have been working on it and am down about 30# so far. I'm looking for some good friends who are working towards becomming fit and healthy too. Really looking for motivation and support. :flowerforyou:

Hi, I am 36, live in Washington state and just recently got divorced. I put on too much weight while I was married after having kids and I am determined to get healthy this year! The divorce did a number on my self esteem but clean eating and exercise is really helping.

I am doing clean eating, intervals on the treadmill, yoga, walking my dogs and am thinking of adding weight lifting, but there are only so many hours in the day! I also work and go to school full time along with being a mom to two teenage boys. Writing this down makes my life look so much busier than it is! I make sure to take time for myself and once a week I just veg on the couch to decompress for a few hours with a good book or every once in awhile a Netflix marathon

Nice to meet you all!
