in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm Allie, I have gained 30+ pounds since high school, and I was shocked by this when I decided to weigh myself. At 162, this is my heaviest I have ever been, and standing at only 5'2, something really needs to be done. I do best when I have friends and buddies there to read about and help stay motivated, so the more the merrier!

Who else has done best on their weight loss journeys when they had buddies? It's the only way I can make myself last through the transition of this new lifestyle...so excited to be here!!!!


Good day to you all!

    Hey Allie! Thanks for adding me! I love having new people to motivate me who have decided to change their lifestyle. If you need any advice I have gotten a lot although I have not had too much success in weight loss since I just started and I have never been really "over-weight" I have learned a lot of good tips that I have been applying to my life and I hope to see results soon! We can help each other stay on track. Glad you joined MFP!

    Hi Allie! Welcome to MPF and feel free to add me. Like you, I seemed to gain quite a bit of weight after high school and am ready to shed it all off.

    Good luck to you on your weight loss.

    Hey there, we all need buddies to help! I am also relatively new here and have a long way to go…well I think I have a long way. My goal is just to be off medication, so that goal weight can be up in the air. I enjoy a “get up and go!” every day. Not everyone has that “someone” who is on their side and pushes them with kind words and actions. Feel free to add me…I can also motivate 
