Happy New Year
Looking for others to share my experiences and draw inspiration from. Set some serious goals for 2011. In the past, goals related to exercise and diet always seemed like I was just concerned with my appearance and I never really made the tough decisions necessary to accomplish them as I didn't see them as high value. I'm…

New here!
I've been battling my weight for about 5 years now. I had 2 babies 16.5 months apart, and never lost it. My youngest child will be 4 in May. My goal is to lose 70-80 pounds.

Hello everyone, I am a newby!
Hello Everyone! I am new to myfitnesspal, I found out about it through my sister and came to try it out!

New...Sort of...
I joined in 2010, and have lost 23 pounds since then and I have kinda hit a plateau, so I thought I would venture to other parts of the site. I am an Army wife and mom of three, currently living in the body of my once former self. :wink: I know how I got here, and it will not hopefully take me long to get back.

Looking for motivation and friends to share this journey wit
I'm looking for friends to help keep me motivated and on track with this weight loss journey.

Enough is Enough!
I'll be 43 in a couple of weeks and am so done with feeling like my clothes don't fit right. I saw pictures of myself from this past weekend and BOY OH BOY do I have a nice double chin working.
