in Introduce Yourself
I desperately need to lose 20lbs. I'm sick of feeling fat and unattractive. I seperated from my verbally abusive husband 8 months ago and I need to start finding some self esteem! I'm really hoping this works for me. I really don't want to be fat, forty and single!

    Welcome to MFP, Abby!

    You've come to a great community, I've only been here a short time myself, but I've found a plethora of resources to get me going, and great people to help keep me motivated on my fitness journey!

    Just remember to take it one step at a time (literally even!), fitness is more akin to an epic quest than a trip to the corner store.

    If you need a friend, please feel free to send me a request. :D And that goes for any other new members that post in this thread, but if you send me a request, please include a message with it!

    I am so happy to see you taking steps to make a change. There's nothing better than dropping an ex and getting sexy to make him see what they lost. lol. Congrats again

    Welcome to MFP Abby- but let me start off by saying you ought to lose the "shabby" adjective- you might have walked away from the verbal abuse but you needn't speak it to yourself :wink:

    One of the things that will help you tremendously is to list some reasons (write them down either on your profile here AND/OR on the fridge/pantry)
    Seeing what you want, and reminding yourself of it- will help keep you on track, or help you get back on track if you wander off a little.

    Best wishes to you as you start this journey-
    Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish- I will encourage you along the way as will so many others.

    It's a day by day walk with LOTS of great people to cheer you on- select your friends wisely.
    Don't be afraid to ask questions, search the forums ( you'd be surprised how many have already asked the same questions)
    and soon you'll find you start caring about SO much else in your life.
