Hello! First time here on MFP and I'm liking it so far. Did enter my food for today and it wasn't pretty...but onward I go!

I'm 45, married with 2 grown children. Work as a Medical Assistant in a clinic and I'm also a 1st Responder for my local town.

Have about 50 pounds to lose...yikes!

Need more info...just ask.

    It gets easier and easier. Once you start heading in the right direction, don't get caught up in the lbs. That part will take care of itself. Just be honest to yourself in your log, enjoy the encouragement and get ready for the new YOU!! Welcome aboard!!:wink:

    Welcome. I started with 43 pounds to lose. I've lost about 14 in two months...most of it early and then about a pound a week. It does help to log calories and exercise, though I miss some days. The encouragement on this site is the best. Everyone is in there own place doing what works for them, while cheering eachother on. I love it.
