New and Exciting Journey

Hello!

I wandered onto this site while I was looking for a daily caloric needs calculator and decided to stay. It seems like a really nice community. :]

I've actually already started my weight loss journey some time ago. I did a medically supervised fast after a friend recommended it to me for my migraines and dropped a good bit of weight (some of it was water and that, of course, came back). All in all, I'm down from 240 (!) to 213 and haven't really had to think about it much. If only the rest of the journey would be that easy!

I'm 23 and have been overweight since pretty much forever. Grandma fed me -a lot- of fried chicken! I hope that being a part of a community like this will help motivate me to do the right thing and not slip bacon grease into my cornbread (I don't really do that, but Southerners will understand the horrors of Southern cooking...)!

    Welcome to mfp I've been here I think its 60 days today, and find it to be a great community. I've lost 16lbs in that time. The people here are very supportive, also I find it makes me more accountable. I'll send you a friend request.:smile:
