Hello All!

I have begun the battle, but I know I will need help and encouragement to win the war. I am new to the fitness/eating right scene. My dad, brother and sister recently lost 30 lbs. and I am using them as role models.

I am not extremely overweight, but I can see myself slipping down that path. I am not happy with the way I look and feel, therefore I have decided to make a change! I also worry that with my family history of diabetes and high blood pressure, I too may fall victim to those diseases.

Basically, I am here to give and receive support from others who feel like I do.

Thanks and Good Luck! :happy:

Hi Magpie!
Welcome to MFP! Losing weight for our health is sooo important! It's the #1 reason, IMHO.

I'll add you as a friend and provide tons of support and encouragement!!
