A Newbey Here!

Hi! I just joined MFP. I'm 20 and planning to lose 80lbs within the next 6-8 months. I've been over-weight all my life except when i was 12-15 and then I put on all over again. I really really really wanna lose the weight and keep it off this time around. None of my family or friends are or have been over-weight so would really love to get to know and support who are going through what i'm going through. Friend me!:) xx

    I just sent you a friend request. Hopefully we can connect on here and support eachother.
  • Hi, I am 54 and I have been doing MFB since January and have lost 30 lbs so far. I really like the calorie counting. Thought it would be a hassle but now am really commited to it. The last 10 pounds have been tougher. My goal is to lose 50. Just try to stick with it and track your food. There will be days when you go over your calories....just don't beat yourself up about it. Start the next day fresh. I have tried tons of diets and this one is the only one that has worked for me so far. Hang in there!
