Hi Everyone,
My name is Dawn. I joined MFP a couple of years ago and have now been back a few weeks.
My highest weight was 366 when I joined WW in '07. I lost 50lbs with them but I couldn't keep up with the meetings. I joined WW online and lost another 15. Then I got lazy. Some of the weight came back (about 20lbs) and I joined Sparkpeople (which I didn't like) and them joined MFP. I lost the 25 and once again got lazy.
My weight crept back up to 355 and I decided I am taking control of my life. I will not allow other people or situations to control my eating and lack of exercise. In a house with 5 other people it can be difficult, but I know what I have to do and I WILL do it.
My first goal is to get out of the 300's completely and I will never see it again.
I am now down to 344.
I could use all the support and encouragement I can get! I am pretty good at giving it back to! :)
Feel free to add me.

    It sounds like you are really determined. Getting in the mind set is the first step. It sounds like you are there! I have been struggling with weight for the last ten years since having kids. I lose 20 pounds then gain it back. It is so frustrating. This is my first time on MFP, and I love it! Good luck!
