Nice to meet you too! I love this app but I've been slipping on my meal log. I'm new to this group, any specifics on workouts or what you plan to change?0

Welcome! I know how you feel - - I have always been thick as well.
I just started slow, logging what I was eating and realizing where my calories were coming from, making changes I could live with. I never gave up fried foods, ice cream, chocolate, coffee - whatever works in your life, just learn how to manage quantities (serving sizes). I admit it was hard at times and even then I would wonder if I would look back and think what was all the drama about and I do, but I believe it needed to happen - we are reestablishing our relationship with food.
I really wanted to be healthy, strong and active! At 47 it is not exactly what I envisioned it to be, I wanted a thick firm body like Serena but I look more like a short version of Venus - but I went from @ 5'2", 244 size 20/22 to 150 size 2/4 a little smaller that I prefer but I got caught up on the scale. I would really suggest thinking long and hard about where you really want to be, either a size or a weight but keep in mind if you are going to workout the scale number may be harder to reach in line with a size idea ( I thought at 150 I would a size 10/12).
Read the forums, ask questions, build yourself a network of MFP friends and take one day at a time and believe it will happen.0 -
I want to change the way I look. My main problem is my stomach. Also I am doing this for health reasons. I know i have to get on a regular work out schedule.
