Another newbie

VanessaB1225

I'm Vanessa, 40-something (on the higher end of something) and am planning to start this with solid goals and semi-solid motivation. Ok, motivation might be a bit more on the jello consistency side but we have to try, right?

I'm a nurse working in medical device clinical research, a student working on expanding upon my decades old education, a divorced mom to three awesome young adults, and a proud pet owner. I won't bore you with more details...except to say that my daughter has been tremendously successful using myfitnesspal and I'm so proud of how she's become healthier, wiser, and more active in her life. Now I want to feel that kind of self-joy too! Here's to progress - leave the perfectionism at the door!!

(If you don't see me again in the next 24 hours hours, you might want to check the local chocolate suppliers. I'll likely be drooling at the door...)
