Hi!
I just joined myfitnesspal last Saturday. My husband wanted to treat me so told me to buy a pretty new outfit... anything I wanted at JCPenney. I was delighted and grabbed several pretty outfits to bring back to the dressing room. We don't have a full-length mirror or bathroom scales in our home. I'd noticed my jeans were getting pretty tight, but wasn't prepared for the full-length, true-to-scale view of myself in the nude! I was shocked and disgusted with myself. How could I have let myself get so out of shape? I decided to buy a pretty outfit that kind of camouflaged the love handles so I would feel good about myself. I made a rock solid decision at that moment that I was going to lose weight and take better care of myself! I found the app for my iphone, then the website. I am motivated to lose this weight and become more active!
