in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I just joined MFP a couple weeks ago, and thought I would start making friends on here to keep me motivated! I currently weigh 147 (started at 149...yikes!) and 5'5 1/2'' and I'm 22! My goal weight is about 125lbs. but I'll even settle for 130lbs.

I started gaining weight aroung the fall of last year. My weight would fluctuate, 135 then 140, 138 to 142...and then I reached my biggest 149. I couldn't believe I gained 25lbs.! I always said to myself 'Oh, I'll start eating healthy tomorrow' and of course, I didn't.

Now, I'm really trying to be serious to getting back in shape. I have lost 2lbs. which is a small accomplishment but an accomplishment nonetheless!

I figured it would be even more beneficial if I had people on MFP to motivate and inspire me since I can get off track pretty easily. Anyone in their 20's who are in a similar situation as mine should definetly add me! As for everyone else, add me, too! :)

    Hi! I'm 22, 5'2'', and 132.8 pounds (somewhat stuck in a rut at the moment). It's great to meet you :) My weight has fluctuated for roughly the past 7-8 years. My highest weight ever was 156, and that was 6 years ago or so. I lost 30 pounds then, kept it off for over a year, then it slowly came back. I crept back up to 150.8, and decided March of this year it was time to take it off. I've lost 18 pounds since March 28. I completely changed my lifestyle (hopefully permanently) - I eat right and get some sort of physical activity at least 6 days a week, whether it's in the gym or doing more fun things like volleyball. Feel free to add me! We can keep each other motivated!
