Hello

ladyrkill

So I have now been on MFP for two weeks. I didn't want to post anything anywhere until I knew I could continuously stick to logging every day and keeping up with my goals. So far I have lost 8lbs (may have been more but celebrated my Mother's 60th over the weekend) and have been exercising in some form every day. This is my second (maybe third) time trying MFP and I hope that this time I will stick to it, this has so far been the longest I have used it.

I am 31 years old and have been obese ever since I can remember. My starting weight was 370lbs, as of today I am down to 361.6lbs. My short term goal is to lose 20 pounds by my 32nd birthday in November. My first long term goal is to be down to 300lbs by next June for my sisters wedding. My second long term goal is to get to 170lbs; I have no goal date as this is going to take whatever time it needs. My ultimate goal is to get my weight down to 140lbs and then maintain that for life.

What I am really looking for is motivation, support and accountability. Unlike the many, many times in the past I am being very open and honest about this life style change in the hopes that I will actually accomplish my dream and goals and not feel like I have a dirty secret that nobody needs to know about.

Feel free to add me as a friend on MFP and lets get this kicked into high gear!
