Hi Im Heather. Im 22 years old . I weigh 224 lbs and im about 5'7 . I joined MFP a while ago, but was not dedicated to it. I didnt realise how big i had gotten until i saw a picture of me at my daughters birthday..then i decided i wanted to look better at my sons 1st birthday which is in a couple weeks so im not going to look much better by then..lol. i have joined the gym and stopped drinking soda..by doing that i lost 4lbs. Knowing that i lost 4lbs by basically cutting out soda got me so excited. So i figured if i cut my calories down and excercise more i can get to my goal weight which is 155. Im looking forward to making other friends trying to lose weight. Ive enjoyed reading everyones tips and success stories so far..it gives me hope!
