Greetings from my igloo

Greetings to all. I have never used MFP but I have used other sites similar. I thought I might give this place a try. 2014 is looking to be a big year for me. Back in December of 2013 I weighed in at 307lbs. This is the absolute most I have ever weighed. Being 5'4'', and having been overweight a majority of my life, I've decided to get serious about my health. Since mid December I have been going to the gym 3 - 4 times a week. Doing a mix of cardio and weight lifting, I have successfully lost about 13 pounds thus far. It's a work in progress and I look forward to it. Eventually I would like to be able to compete in a 5k with my girlfriend.

You can do it!!! There are so many great success stories on here, as part of my morning routine, I read one for inspiration and motivation and it helps me stay on track all day. Americans....we got fat collectively.....we can get healthy collectively! ;-)0

Thank you. It isn't a matter of "can do", but more "will do". It's great when people with a common goal can get together and support each other. It makes the negatives less bitter and the positives more sweet!0
