Hello all! My name is Kelly, I'm a 25 year old from Connecticut. I'm not new to trying to lose weight, but I do feel much more serious about it this time. A big bonus is how many foods are already listed on MFP. So much easier to keep track that way.
I'm starting this journey at my heaviest, 300 pounds, and am aiming for 180. Though still slightly overweight for my height, I think I'd be happy stopping there. I guess I'll find out when I get there :)
