Hello! I love this place!

Hi everyone - I joined a few days ago and started tracking my food/exercise Monday. I have lost 80 lbs over the past couple years and I still have a lot to lose. I had been stagnant for a couple months after a back injury and decided to join MyFitnessPal to get the "boost" I needed to keep me moving in the right direction. I really love this site! It's so user-friendly. I've been reading all over the board and it looks like a great place! I'm looking forward to getting to know people here and learning and sharing motivation.

I'm in my 50s and "mom" to four dogs (hence the username). I like to create, sew, sing, swim and I want to travel more. One of my motivations is a Colorado camping trip next year with my husband and the dogs, which I wouldn't be comfortable doing at my current weight. In addition to traveling more, I want to do more physical activities with my husband, ride horses again and work more with the dogs.

I'll see you all around! :)
