in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys!

I joined about a week ago, I really love MFP, especially the nice little scanner device on my iPhone. I'm zapping that everywhere! I've been successful on WW before, but writing in a food journal absolutely kills me, and obvi, gained the weight back. I think MFP is more of a long-term thing as I dont have to carry around a little thing of paper or pay for an online/app from WW.

I weigh 211 and would like to get to 140. I'm 25 years old and ready to get rid of the fatsuit.

Anybody else around my stats that would like to friend me? I won't bite, I swear. Just looking for accountability friends.

    Thanks to all my new friends!

    It helps to see what other people are doing than just doing my own thing all the time.
    I don't feel so much alone!

    I also want to say I got referred to MFP by reddit, and some great inspiration from there (www.reddit/r/loseit) this is not a spam post, maybe it can help other people too!

    Hello!

    I'm always looking for accountability friends! I have 70 lbs to lose to reach my goal of 140. I'm currently at 204. I've done WW and gained it back - I don't know what the deal is - why I had such a hard time with tracking, when I do just fine on here!!

    I use the app for my phone and that is huge for me :)

    I'm ready to commit - I've been a member on here for a while now and finally cracked down a couple weeks ago. I'm down 4 lbs and hope to stay that way!

    Good luck on your journey!

    Hello, I gaind 50 lbs after having my son in 2010 and im all the way up to 250 lbs. I congrat you on losing with weight watchers. It is a struggle sometimes especially when you fall off sometimes, but it's not over yet. I have faith in you. MFP is great and very easy. i joined a week ago and i've been doin well because it keeps you on track with your calorie count. It was really hard for me at first because I had no clue as to how to eat. I was a binge eater for a while, but now Im paying close attention to my calorie take in and cutting back on soda and fast food! Keep the faith, Im with ya, I want to get down to 150 lbs! I have a whole person to lose lol it'll happen one day at a time! :)

    I hear you on the WW thing. I just finally canceled it and came back to MFP!

    Just a tiny tid bit about me... I started my journey at 217 after many medical and Rx gains (use to be 110 the up to 135 that I loved). Well today I am at 180.4 and I have roughly 45 more to go. and I feel as if I am restarting with new eyes after many MANY many times of just giving up and gaining and dropping...ugh.

    Good luck!

    Hi, I've been using the MFP app for a while but not consistently. I'm refocused and determined and I'm looking for accountability partners.
    We CAN do this!

    Wow this is funny this thread got revived somehow!

    Awesome to have some new friends. I'm actually just ''Getting back'' into it as I just spent a bad bad 2 weeks!

    I've lost 23 pounds since then but gained back 3. Today is when I get back on the wagon, so it's a great surprise to have new friends to get back into it.
