Hi my Name is Celeste! I am 26... I'm married (8 years 1-1-11!) and I have 2 amazing kids! My daughter is one of my biggest supporters lol for being 7 she is so smart and already makes healthy choices and encourages me to do the same! she is so awesome! I joined My Fitness Pal last Friday! I had a huge eye opening experienced that day when I noticed what all I ate that day and how crappy I felt! I think I had hit my breaking point! I'm sick of being fat and NEED to do something about it! so far I am loving the site and think its a great way to get support!

And may it continue after you reach your goal weight, so it doesn't creep back on. like mine did! I am new to the site, too, and I'd like to add you as a friend!

Congrats on joining. I'm pretty new myself. I have three kids (16,10 and 7) and they are my biggest motivation too. My husband and I are closet junkers. We have raised our kids to eat healthy, they have no clue the junk that we buy and hide from them. It's pathetic really. After they would go to bed we would pull out the junk and pig out. Just like you, once we started tracking our calories we were shocked at how much we were over eating. This has been a real eye opener for us. Good luck on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

lol@ your anniversary being 1-1-11.... we were married on 08-08-08

Welcome and I really think you'll love it here. Everyone is extremely supportive and we are a very tight knit family. It's something you just simply won't find anywhere else. The best part of MFP is that even though it is free it is a higher quality of motivation, information, and all around help than you will find anywhere else - including some of the very expensive plans!

Just keep at it day to day and you will have no problems. I can remember being frustrated that my "ticker" at the bottom of my signature only said 2 or 3 lbs while everyone else seemed to have theirs saying some massive amounts. Mine now says 28 lbs lost and I can't be more amazed at how far I've come and how EASY it has been!

MFP has been so helpful for me ~ the record keeping, the accountability, the support. Glad you're here! :happy:
