Hi, I'm Arnette (Picka)... and I've been overweight as long as I can remember... so reaching my goal will be super exciting! I'll see a fit and healthier me for the first time. I lost about 65-70 pounds with Weight Watchers prior to having my son back in 2007. That was awesome!... But unfortunately, gained it all back with a vengence afterwards. With life changes like getting married, having a baby and buying a new house, I fell off the wagon and never could really get my motivation back. So here I go again! Motivated and determined to shed the extra pounds. I'm pretty new to this site and welcome positive and active MFP friends to join me on this journey to weight loss. I'm excited and hope you are too :happy:

Good Luck!
~ Picka

    Welcome! I too did WW previously (several different times) and lost 30 and 40lbs each time and while I do love it, it's costly. This yr I decided I needed a change and someone suggested MFP and though I had an account I never did anything with it. So here I am 4 months later and 26lbs down with 124 to go until my first goal. Start small, log daily, add some exercise in when you're ready and rock this!!!

    Feel free to friend request me, I'm a sahm to 3 girls and log daily and try to comment as often as possible on my friends :)

    Hi there! Thanks for posting. Weight Watchers is great, but you're right - it is costly. MFP is awesome and FREE. A great tool that seems to really work. I've lost 6 pounds in just the two short weeks I've signed up. I'm excited to be making new friends... it will definately make the journey fun and easier. I will take your advice.... let's rock this together :happy:
