Hi everybody.

So i have been stalking this site for about a week now and never had the courage to actually say anything. But now I feel like I MUST. This site is AMAZING. Over the past 2 weeks, I have been trying to find the best support website possible. And I think I finally found it. My weight loss journey has not been easy. But I must say that for the first time ever, I have the confidence to actually carry it through. I started on Jan 2nd and since then I have lost 6.6 pounds. I work out on my elliptical 6 days a week, I do 2-3 days of basic calisthenics (crunches, modified pushups, standing oblique crunches, leg kicks, jumping jack, resistance bands, etc). I am amazed by the results. My diet is pretty solid also. I am not a fan of tracking what I eat on paper by my brain is a journal in itself. I literally go over my calories in my head 6x a day just to be sure I am on top of it. Some may say I am not eating enough, given my workout sched (I eat about 1400 cals/day, although I need 2600 to maintain given my height (5 9) and wt (232.2 now). BUT...I am FULL with all the water and food I eat throughout the day. Any more food and I might end up overdoing it. Anyhow, Enough rambling....I truly truly love this site and the people on here are absolutely INSPIRATIONAL. While i may not have time to be as involved as I would like, I intend to make MFP an integral part of my journey. With that being said...FRIEND ME!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS!
