in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, I'm a newbie to this site and wondered how many people had upwards of 110-115lbs to lose?

My name is Leah, I'm 23 and classed as morbidly obese, especially for my height. I've had enough of trying commercial weight loss clubs as they are so competitive, I just want others who share the ups and downs with me rather than secretly being glad that I fell of the wagon so they get "fat buster of the week" or whatever patronising award that would be available.

So, if you want to share tips and tricks and in return I'll let you in on the few tricks I've got up my sleeve. I don't judge people, it would be arrogant of me to do so with my "image" lol.

So anyways, less of the rambling and I'm looking forward to making some new acquaintances.

Much Love :-) :-)

Leah xxx

    Hey Leah,

    Welcome to MFP :) It's a great site and definitely not judgemental at all, or at least it doesn't feel that way to me. Just seems very supportive so I hope you will enjoy being here and find it helpful.

    99.9% of this site is very supportive, but you will find that random jerk in the forums from time to time, so just pay them no mind. Welcome aboard!

    Hi and welcome! This place is great for non-judgemental support, everyone is here most days for the ups and downs, which I find a better support system than only weekly meetings, this place is full of lovely people and usually when I come on here I find that I am motivated to be the best I can be :) I am sending a friend request to you!

    Hi Leah,

    Welcome to MFP! People here are really supportive! There are also plenty of new Moms here as well who can give you tips on how to find a fitness and weightloss lifestyle that fits your tight schedule.

    My recommendation is to find some great friends with similar goals and support each other's succeses! I also always recommend that you be REALLY good about logging everything no matter what and that you open up your food diary so your friends can give advice or just say yum when you've created something really great for the family meal (I certainly appreciate that my friends let me what they have found good to eat!).

    Good luck!

    Hi,

    I am new too.I have over 100 to lose and am new too.I also find it easy to take care of others and not myself.I have been forced to now as I have a medical issue and am trying to avoid going into a wheelchair.Some of my family have had gastic surgery but I do not think that is the right path for me and some of my Dr. are for some against. Been learning lots and been motivatied by this site.
