Here I am and finally taking weight loss seriously after years of hiding behind it because "I really like food". I love to cook and eat and drink great wine with dinner. And it likes me too! After 2 years of pilates and no weight loss, just more muscle, something else had to be done. So here I am, day 5 and, I cheated and weighed myself this morning and it look slike I lost 2 pounds! But I am not going to do the official weigh in until Friday just to be sure. 24 days until I go to Maui and actually put on a swimsuit for the first time in 5 years. I still hope I am traveling far enough from anyone I might know that will see me! Love this app and site and it is making this easier than I ever thought!

    Welcome! You have come to a great place to reach your goal. You still have time to loose weight before Maui! You can do it! I go to Maui in August and hope to be swimsuit ready as well. Please feel free to add me and we can keep each other motivated and ready for the tropics!

    Welcome Fellow Nor Cal MFP-er! I am the same age as you and live in Santa Rosa. I have been at a stalemate lately. I workout daily, but finding it hard to say no to the old things that keep haunting me. My successful MFP friends continue to remind me that it is a Marathon, not a Sprint. You WILL have success by Maui-time!
