Hey!
My name is Kaitlin and I have been trying to loose weight as long as I can remember. I need this, not only for my health and personal image but to make me feel better about myself. I want to do this for many reasons, including my husband, to start a family and just so I can go for runs in public.
I would really like to earn support and make friends on here that will not only last until I meet my goal but well afterwards. I would also help any of you in anyway I can.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to meeting some of you wonderful, strong and motivated people on here. :)

    It's a long and frustrating process when done alone. Glad to stay in touch with others who are looking for support and with giving encouragement.

    Hi Kaitlin! Sounds like you have an awesome list of reasons for joing MFP. The support I have received from my friends on here has just been phenomenal! I would be more than happy to be your friend and encourage you any way I can! =) Just know, that this sometimes comes in the form of tough love lol.

    Hello, I know how frustrating it can be.....by all means add me and we can chat! I lost 50 lbs doing weight watchers and Turbo Jam but recently gained back 10 so I thought I would switch it up and try something different than WW......so here I am, new to this as well.

    We can do it!! :flowerforyou:

    Hello,

    I signed up for MFP I believe early last year, but have not lost any weight (not that I have done much about it) so welcome and let's start this together

    Hi,

    Feel free to add me! I just started up again recently (doing it right this time) and can use all the support I can get!!! Last time I tried to lose weight I kept it a secret, and I really think this time around in order to be successful, I need to do the opposite! It seems to be working so far :)

    Have a great night,
    Caro
