Never been this heavy--only during pregnancy

I haven't been this heavy ever--only when I was expecting my first child. I'm embarassed and disappointed in myself that I let food take control instead of controlling what I put in my mouth.

On to something positive, this is my first time on here and I LOVE IT!! So easy to track food and see my results whether they are good or bad. I'm probably taking on too much at first but I'm also training to run my first 5k. I've walked a 5k, but I'd like to run (or slowly jog). I'm using the couch to 5k and it's an easy program to follow. As long as I don't let my emotional eating get in the way, then I should be a lighter runner by race time in April.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from all of you on MFP!

I was the same and that is what finally made me realize I needed to take control!
I just started with MFP a couple of weeks ago, but I really love it! I decided to start watching what I ate and not eating so much junk Jan. 3/11 and low and behold I started losing weight! In total I'm down 17 lbs. and exercising more than I ever have stick with it and reap the rewards!

almost my story I was more than ever... half a pound heavier than 9 months pregnant...I am losing slowly, but, I am happy with my progress, and I love how exercising makes me feel younger and more energetic.

Welcome!
