Hello MFP folks!
Haven't used the app in awhile (new job, got married, etc.), but I'm officially back. Why? Well, I got a new job last December. Long story short: went from a manual labor position to a desk job. This was right after I had gotten down to about 245. Then I gained some back with the job switch. But, got married in June and we just got back from our honeymoon in Iceland. I was about 265 before the trip. We hiked over 60 miles, and with food being super expensive, we didn't eat as much. Came back and I'm 253! So I've deiceded to continue the push. My goal is 235, as that's how much I weighed when I started high school (yes I was a butterball). I know I can do it, I've just gotta stick to what has worked for me in the past.
So I just wanted to say: you can do it. All it takes is a little nudge in the right direction. I've got 23 pounds to go. But no matter if it's 2 pounds or 200, if you don't start today, you never will. Cheers everybody!
