in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Stefny Gray and I am a 21 year old newlywed. I have had self esteem issues my entire life even before I was overweight. I was always extremely small as a child having been blessed with a high metabolic rate. When I was 14 I broke my ankle and have had several surgeries since then. I starting gaining weight in that way where you kind of right it off at first because it "creeps" on you, but after gaining 80 pounds in 3 years I started to wonder if I could even go back to being fit. In the three years since then I have lost 25 of the pounds I had put on, but I have been stuck on this weight for 3 years! Enough is enough and I am tired of looking and feeling like this. Please send any encouragement you can so I can make this Journey with friends. :)

    Hey

    I'm new here too as of today in fact and really want to keep motivated and shift this weight once and for all. I've got a goal of 40 pounds by December 12th. I know this is a big task, but I have a reason for the time limit. I will need all the help and encouragement I can get so any and all will be welcome and of course totally reciprocated :)

    Good luck everyone

    Hey I'm Rach (23) and I only joined MFP a week ago; but had a great boost when I lost 8lbs in my first week. I have sent myself a goal of losing 42lbs and will see how I feel then.

    I'm enjoying it thus far and very glad that exercise helps with extra food. Any support would be appreciated, everyone on here seems to nice.
