Newbie to MFP and determined to get back to a healthy weight

ccvalentine

Hi! Thanks for viewing! I have 40 pounds to lose and know exactly what I need to do to get there. Unfortunately, I've let my love of food and my social life take over the priorities such as going to the gym on a regular basis and eating healthy home-cooked meals. I'm also 30 this year so my metabolism has really taken a pit stop it seems...

If you're in the same boat I am and/or from around the Charlotte, NC/Fort Mill, SC/Rock Hill, SC area, say hi and let's work together towards our goals!

Thanks!

Forget all that nonsense abt being old and so metabolism is slow. Just stick to the MFP calculated calorie recommendation and you will soon see results, within 2 weeks in fact. Im delighted with the 11 lbs ive lost since joining mfp few months back, now wherever i go every1 notices how different i look (Thank God,) im a 3rd of the way towards my target and loving it! good luck

Advice: Stick to the calorie target and only ever let go once a week, other than that, stay on the target, it works! If you're strict enough with yourself, you wont even hafta exercise, losing weight is 95% disciplined diet, 5% exercise, trust me!
