I'm back, in Lake Forest, CA, looking for a running buddy!
Hi all! I lost all my weight a long time ago and kind of left this site, but now I'm back and I'm reintroducing myself. Also in need of a real life friend!

150 days later, passed my goal!! (pics)
In a way, this post is my own little NSV. When I first signed up for MFP I looked at the success stories daily and thought "I can't wait to post my own one day." And here I am!!!

HUGE NSV for me!!
So I'm graduating from college on Friday, and about a week ago I realized that the dress I had intended on wearing was too big on me. I figured I'd go to a discount store and buy a cheap dress. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a dress in case I keep losing weight and won't fit into it anymore. Plus, it's under the…

One week into MFP
Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Anita and I'm 24 living in Los Angeles. A friend of mine told me about this website and I was hesitant at first. I thought it was just another calorie counter, but when I actually signed up and looked into it, I fell in love. I've been overweight my whole life, and I've…
