Giving it my all

Hey there!! I am Rhonda. I am 54 years old, a widow, have 6 grown kids. I know, wow, 6 kids, LOL!! Anyway..... I am 70 lbs overweight and I have tried everything from grapefruit to ephedrine. Nothing seemed to work. Well, I am here only a week and I am already losing. Love this site!! If you use it all day everyday, it keeps things in perspective. Helps you make good food choices and almost holds you accountable. I am so excited about it.

  • HI Rhonda, I'm quite new here too but finding MFP a great place to record my food intake and to spur me on if I'm flagging.

    I can't imagine what having six kids would be like... I have one, and she's enough work, lol.
