Hello everyone! I'm Cecilia. I'm 22 years old, from Mount Pleasant, MI. I'm a fifth-year senior at Central Michigan University, going for my bachelor's in online journalism and creative writing. I'm excited about joining this group because among my friends and family, I've had a hard time trying to find a really good motivation buddy. I just joined this site yesterday, because I am now at the heaviest weight I've ever been, 228.4 lbs. I want to lose 100 lbs, and keep it off for good! I've lost weight in the past, but never the full amount I wanted to, and I've always gained it back after I got back to "normal" eating habits...I guess my biggest challenge after losing all the weight is going to be maintaining it so I don't gain again. My weigh-in day is going to be on Mondays.0

Hey Cecilia! You've definitely come to the right place
I'm the same as you, managed to lose weight in the past but never the full amount and have always put it back on. I'm at 105kg (231.5lbs) as of my weigh in this morning and we're aiming to lose the same amount of weight so that's cool! We can totally do it :bigsmile: 0 -
Hi all,
My name is Morgan and I am 24 years old. I just recently graduated from college and started a full time job as an engineer in the cooperate world where i sit for 40 hours a week in front of a computer. Even though I've been working full time for a year now, I'm still having trouble transitioning into "the real world" and the lack of activity that comes with a sedentary job. I have never had good control over my eating and could never obtain the goal weight that I have had in mind for years. For the longest time, my weight seemed like it was something that i could not control and I would go through periods where I would gradually gain weight over years or loose some weight randomly over a few months and have no clue as to what I was doing to differently.
In January, I decided that i wanted to learn how to control my diet so I wouldn't stress about my "uncontrollable" weight anymore and so i would have more confidence in myself. I took a Introduction to Nutrition class at a local community college (which i HIGHLY recommend) and i downloaded the myfitnesspal app on my phone a couple months ago. I started dieting when i downloaded the app, and I started out well, but I have stopped progressing and am having much more trouble starting to loose weight again.

Ok...
Scoreboard continued...
Ashlee: 2.3kg
Amy: 0.7kg
My weigh in day is on a Wednesday morning as well... Ashlee any chance you were once a 12WBTer? I was, and the weigh in day for that was a Wednesday morning as well. Loved the program, just couldn't afford it this round (so I'm on here... but its pretty much the same).
Should we start a new topic for the scoreboard?

I want to lose about 12-15kgs (33lbs ish) get down to my happy weight eventually of about 65kg (goal at the mo is 68kg)
I have found it much easier to not worry about dieting at work (school), it's just when im home 2 hrs earlier than my partner and the non-diet food is calling me.
It's the last week of term next week and my birthday and i just know it's going to be a bad week... i'm going to try to be good but i want to enjoy the cake and goodies...
any suggestions on not stuffing my face with chocolate and sweeties and cookies and cake in celebration.
I've just been offered a new position for next yr with more responsibility and wanted to celebrate so my boyfriend and i shared a small cake and a weak wine spritzer with fizzy water.

*25 years old goal to loose my weight before my 26th birthday

My name is Brittany and I live in Tennessee. I am 23 and married. I have my Associate's degree for medical billing and coding but as of now I am not working in the field because I have to save up some money to take the certification test. I currently work from home as an Avon Rep which I have been doing for 3 yrs.
I just joined MFP yesterday so I'm really excited! The reasons for my weight: My husband is an aspiring chef so I have a habit of eating way too much of his amazing dishes! Being that I work from home, I haven't been active enough either. I would like to get back to the weight I was at 19. That's when I was the smallest and happiest with my body. I currently weigh 170 lbs (77 kg) and my goal is 130 lbs (59 kg). I would like to reach my goal at least by the end of the yr but hopefully sooner. I will probably be weighing in on Sundays. 0 -

Hi all, my name is Anna and I'm from Sweden, currently living in Indiana, US. Moved here and got married recently. I'm 24 year's old and currently a housewife, since I don't have authorization to work yet. Hoping to lose weight faster when I can finally work. I got a bachelor's degree in politics and economics and hope to put it to good use.
I currently weigh 269 lbs and want to get down to 165 within a year or two. I've lost weight before but gained it all back. Never gone over 280 lbs though, thankfully. This time I aim to keep it down and not get lazy.
