Hi everyone,

My name is Cara. I'm 27 years old. Live in South Jersey. I am happily married and have a 2 1/2 year old son Connor. I'm excited and very scared of my long weight loss journey ahead of me. Looking forward to getting to know all of you. If you've had success with this site or have an inspirational story I'd love to hear it!! I need all the inspiration and motivation I can get!

Thanks,
Cara :)

    Hi, welcome to the site. I have been doing this calorie counting since July. I have lost at least 15 lbs, but I don't weigh myself everyday or even week so I'm not sure what I weigh today. I went through periods where I didn't lose then all of a sudden I would drop. So I stopped weighing on a regular basis, instead I just stay the course and I can see it in my clothes. I just had to tighten my belt to the smallest loo, a size I was in 20 years ago. The main thing is to find a fitness program that you like and will keep you interested. I began competing in cycling and running to give myself some targets. Nutrition is something else that I have started watching. As I was looking at my results on a daily basis in MFP I noticed I was lacking in vitamins and minerals. My potassium, iron and calcium were always low.
    Good luck and find a workout that is convenient to do and that you like so you will stick with it. Good luck and add me as a friend if you want for support.

    Best regards,
    Gunnar

    Welcome to the site, I just started about two weeks ago and have already lost 3lbs. The people here are really helpful and the site helps you watch what you eat.
