in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I guess it's time I did this introduction thing. I have been using MyFitnessPal for almost a week now. I downloaded the app for my Android phone and it has been quite educating.

I am 65 years old and my goal is to lose about 80 pounds in the next year. That's about 1.5 pounds per week. Before MFP, I would have said that was crazy, and it would never happen. MFP has shown me in the 6 days I have been using it that I was wrong. It is NOT crazy, and it CAN be done (even at my age). No, I didn't say it would be easy, but it can be done if I am intelligent with my choices. MFP helps me do that.

Looking forward to what the next 51 weeks holds for me...

-Howard

    Welcome! Good luck on your journey. I was a doubter before MFP also. I still have those who try to pass out their negative thoughts, but with MFP I have a good group of supporters to cancel out the negatives. I have more to lose than 80 lbs so I will be here a while!

    Good choice bro. It will get tougher than your first week, but, if your strong you'll do it.
