in Introduce Yourself
Hello:

My name is Kat and I am a 41 years old and needing to lose somewhere between 75 to 100 lbs. I am not sure what my weight should be because I have been fat my whole adult life. I do know what my weight should not be. My first short term goal is to lose 30 lbs. I would love to have friends on MFP to support and lean on them for support.

Thanks,

    Hi Kat,
    .
    Feel free to add me.

    My name is Nicola, I'm 36 and I live in Lanzarote, we moved
    here (from Britain) 'cause we only get about 6 days of rain a year.

    I love being outside but want the body to take advantage of it.

    I hate running but I do love going to the gym but I'm forcing
    myself to have a go at the C25K programme and it's not horrible
    so far.

    I'm 31lbs lost with a goal of 68. I'm LOVING MFP.

    Good Luck
    Nicola xxx

    Hi Kat: you will love this program, it really opens up your eyes to what you are eating, how many calories, and what foods you need to eat. Feel free to add me as a friend. Victoria

    Hi Kat and Welcome to FitnessPal! I have to lose 90 pounds. I started just 25 days ago. Feel free to add me as a support friend on your journey to a new and healthy lifestyle. To find out how much you should weigh, I would suggest checking in with your doctor. Every bodytype is different. It's also a good idea to make small intermediate goals too. For example, your first longterm goal is to lose 30 pounds, so you could say that your first intermediate goal is to lose 5 pounds. You need to see success in small steps and don't forget to reward yourself along the way; a new book, or new nail polish color, a long hot bubble bath, etc. Keep us posted on your progress!:smile:

    Add me!

    My name is Jenna, I live in Florida. I have also been overweight most of my life. The lowest my weight has been in my adult life is 150, and I felt great there. I am currently down to 195 from 210.

    I am a mommy of 4, and I love it! Most rewarding thing I've ever done. I want to be healthy enough to live to see my great grand children!

    MFP has been an awesome experience so far. I don't feel deprived and the weight and inches continue to come off at a healthy pace.

    Looking forward to supporting you through your journey!

    Hi Kat,
    You can add me too along with anyone else here! I just joined this weekend and I and in the same boat as you. Im a single mom and been fat for as long as I can remember. I too need to loose b/n 75 & 100 pounds and I need all the support I can get.

    I thought I was handling it however, I realized over the 4th of July weekend, that being called "fat" hurt now just as much as it did when I was a kid.

    Hi, Kat. :)

    I'm 32, 5'4, and started here May 1st at 221 pounds. I will be 207.4 lbs come tomorrow's weigh-in. However, that's still a drop in the bucket, because I need to lose a total of 85 pounds to be in a healthy BMI for my height. Feel free to add me. My diary is open and I love to give support. :)

    Feel free to add me, as well. I lost 80 pounds using a combination of weight watchers, exercise and most recently MFP. I went from just about the laziest person I knew to one of the most active people I know - my entire life has changed in the past 2 1/2 years. I'm now in a "healthy" BMI range and working on getting myself down to a "fitness level" body fat percentage. I know what you're going through, I've been there and can tell you with confidence that you can do it too - but you have to really want it, you have to really be ready to face the challenges that lie ahead!

    Hi ~ I'd love to add anyone/everyone as supporters! I started MFP about a month ago and after working really hard on it for a week, I ended up gaining about 3# - so I gave up for awhile. I'm starting again and hoping to see some results this time around. I'd like to lose 10 lbs - but I'll be satisified with 5# for a short term goal.

    Thanks and I look forward to this journey with everyone!

    Hello I have been doing this for some time now but have Internet only a few days a week. My progress is slow and I could really use some support for a boost. Anyone interested?

    Hi guys, I need in to! My name is Pam and I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. Lost a couple of times only to gain it back. I'm 5'6" and 271lb and today is DAY # 1 so I have gotta get in the game :) According to the BMI charts it looks like I should be around 160 so I'm going to go for a goal of 110 lb. So lets finally do this thing!:smile::smile:

    Everyone can feel free to add me, I still have quite a bit to lose (40 lbs or maybe a few more) so I am definitely not going anywhere. Happy to offer any support that I can!

    Hey Kat! Welcome...I'm sending you a request now. I lost 70lbs as a teen, gained some of it back with a failed pregnancy in my 20s and have been between 130-140 (roughly 133-138) since 1996. It's by far been my biggest accomplishment of my life and if I can do it, anybody can!! All of you are welcome to add me :)

    Feel free to add me! I'm not sure how motivational I will be, but I am trying to be mindful of what I eat and log everything because otherwise I have a tendency to overeat. I feel like it's easier to find the motivation to do it when you see others who are sticking with it. . . otherwise, it's easy to just blow it off and say, "I don't want to live my life this way, having to jump on my phone and log everything I eat every day." If you see other people doing it, too, it feels more normal and not like so much of a sacrifice. I would like to have more friends on here. If anyone would like another friend on here, please feel free to add me!

    Hi I'm Xiomya, feel free to add me. I'm on daily and could also use some motivation and support. I don't add too many friends, just need a few who are active on MFP.
