in Introduce Yourself
Hi all!

Excited about starting this journey with people to share it with.

I have a lot of weight to lose, around 60 lbs. I'm 5'4", 37 years old. Work full time, mostly sitting at a desk.

It is inspiring to see people's weight loss trackers on this site, I can't wait for mine to start moving!

    Welcome! MFP is a great place to be, lots of motivating and inspirational people here. I am 40 yrs old, I have lost 25lbs, with about 40 more to go. I'll send you a FR.

    Wow, that was quick! Thanks so much you two! Can you explain the "friend" function of this site? I literally just joined a half hour ago and haven't figured that part out yet.

    Shanon, I just joined my self. I work for the State at a desk job in Alaska.
    I've lost 51 pounds since November's weigh in at my doctor's and I wanted a way to keep it off and lose more, a friend at work suggested this site, so I joined a few minutes ago, today.

    Hi Kiwen! How fun to have another Alaskan to chat with. I just figured out the friend feature, it looks like it is almost like Facebook for weight loss. Great job on 51 lbs. lost! You must feel terrific. What have you been doing?
