Hi Everyone! Just wanted to introduce my self

Hi - My name is Brenda and I just hit the BIG 50 in August - Something all of a sudden hit me - i'm 50 and have gained alot of weight. So I decided to start eating healthier - Well found this site on Sept. 6th for the food diary - so far I've lost 1 1/2 in. and 4lbs - I also joined a healthy group on facebook, very nice people! So I decided to venture out and I spotted the community here so I thought what the heck - So here I am! I live in Angola Ny and would love to meet some new people to go along our journey together.

    Hi Brenda!

    Congratulations on you weight loss so far

    Im from little ole Blighty right on the Southcoast, this is my second time on MFP, when I hit my goal last year I left MFP and put it all back on again (lesson learnt lol)

    Some great people and forums on here, Im taking part in a couple of challenges that drive me to get off my *kitten* and out and about on the bike etc

    Good luck with your goal

    Congratulations on getting started! I'm 55 - live in the midwest. I've found MFP to be a great accountability tool. Keep it up!

    Good Morning Brenda!
    I love this site! With help from the fantastic people I've met here I have been able to meet my goal in 7 mos. I'm much more aware of what and how I eat, I've learned about the value of exercise and that it's actually fun to do. About a month after I started my son and Grand-daughter also joined. My son has lost 80+ lbs and my Grand-daughter about 30! I'm so proud of them. I'm so glad you've found MFP and I know these wonderful people can help you back to a healthy lifestyle too!
