in Introduce Yourself
I'm new and thought I might try mfp out. I've already lost some weight but I came on here thinking that joining a community might add some fun and motivation to the process.

I'm 5'7" and weigh 176 lbs. I'm 36, married, no kids, and in grad school. I'm not sure how much weight I lost before coming here because I was too afraid to weigh myself for years. Since the beginning of June I have lost weight though because my clothes are looser and I can see the difference. Once this happened I finally felt brave enough to face the scale. :)

I love seeing everyone's goals at the end of their posts, it's great, I need to figure out how to do that. I would like to be 168 by the beginning of school this semester, Sept 1st, and my UGW is 140.

    oh yanno, I just realized that "colorfulcupcakes" may not have been the best choice of name for a weightloss forum.... I might change my name...

    Welcome colorfulcupcakes...you've made a GREAT first step (or second step) by joining MFP. There's no better way to gain the encouragement & support we all need to obtain our goals.

    Where in Cali are you? I'm currently in Michigan, but moving to SoCal within a couple of months (hopefully!).

    Good luck & much success to you!!
