I just joined MFP yesterday, but I started my weight loss journey about a week ago. I weighed in at 234lbs, YIKES. I'm 5'6" and only 24 years old. I gained about 50lbs a couple of years ago because of some health issues and haven't had success losing it on my own. My doctor finally put me on Adipex and a new diet to help jump start my weight loss since traditional methods just weren't working for me. So far I'm down 5lbs in 6 days! I'm below 230 for the first time in over a year! I still have a long way to go to reach my target weight, but I'm looking forward to all of the milestones along the way!
