in Introduce Yourself
Ive been using myfitnesspal for a few weeks now but have yet to post on the forums.. So I just wanted to make a quick one to introduce myself. I am 24 years old and have well over 100 pounds to lose..I have tried dieting and excercise more times than I care to think about, even once with the aid of a doctor, and each time I've failed. Hoping this time around I will finally lose the weight and keep it off for good.. I am trying to make gradual healthy changes to my life, rather than thinking of it as a "diet".. So far Ive lost 11 pounds, it's coming off slowly, but I am still motivated :) anyway, just stopped in to say hello!

    hello!.. im new to MFP too.. 3 days new actually... so far so good.. . i have min of 50 and bigger goal of 70 to loose..
    congrat's on 11pnds so far , thats great!.. they say its one size for ever 10#'s you loose!.. and just imagine carrying 11 one lb packages of ground beef.. that would be heavy!!!.. (i like to think of it in that way to get a real picture of it)
    and i agre with you.. i feel the same way.. want to do something 'realistic' for wt loss.. not a crash diet.. not even a diet...
    and i love the 'earning calories' back w/exercise.. makes me more active!!!
