in Introduce Yourself
Hello Everyone,
My name is Ruthie, I am 36yr old and have decided that it is time for a change. I have never really watched what I eat or made sure I exercised because I have always been very active. My best friend used to say that I had a bottomless leg that open up into the earth because I could put away the food and never gain any weight. Well as we all know, age changes things. Along with a family member passing because of not taking care of themselves, I figured it was time to make a change for the best now while it would relatively easy compared to in my 40's or 50's when it can be a lot hard to loss weight and stay motived. So here I am starting to train myself to a new way of eating and staying healthy. I am currently on the Keto diet and so far I love it. In my first month I did fall off the wagon for a few days, (clearly I cannot be left alone with the Halloween candy....just saying....I'm not quite there yet...) however, I am back on the wagon and back to loosing fat. My goal is to loose approx 50-60lbs and I am currently at 14lbs total since I started tracking my food, and 10 since I started the Keto diet. I am looking forward to my journey ahead!

I hope you all are getting the results that you are looking for to help you feel good.
Best of luck to all of you and thank you for reading :smile:

    Hi
    I have been on MFP for serveral years and was off and on. However 7 weeks ago yesterday I got back from vacation and weighed myself and got my wake up call. We all have one. That day when finally you realize you need to and are ready to get real and stick to it. That was my day. I am now less then a pound away from having lost 20lbs. I have over 38 lbs more to loose so I still have a ways to go, but this time I'm not stopping for anything.

    Beside just reaching that point of serious commitment I have also found a major difference this time and it is my group of committed friends on MFP. I have a great group now who log daily and go on the news feed and comment and like and just generally support one another. If you don't have a good group I suggest you look for one. If you are committed to logging and supporting friends on news feed feel free to add me. I would be happy to help you along your restart. Either way I wish you a path of commitment support and success.
