in Introduce Yourself
Hi everybody. My name is Jacki. I've been on MFP for six months now and have lost 75 pounds so far. I'm a 43 year old mom of two teenagers who run me ragged. I started this for them, but now it's really all about me. I started at my highest weight of 348. Total bummer. Just found pictures of me at Xmas time and I can't believe how out of control I let it get.

I started out not even being able to lift my legs into my pants. Couldn't walk around the block, and did low impact aerobics sitting in a chair. Well today I had my best exercise day of all time. I went to the gym and walked for an hour on the treadmill...2.5 miles all uphill. Boy was I proud of myself. And a little dizzy by the time I finished. Lol. I have come a long way baby.

I weigh 273 pounds right now, but I know I can lose more. And as I do, exercising should get even better for me. See, I don't enjoy exercising at all, but I love how I feel when I'm done.

I am looking for more friends. Anyone who wants to friend me, please do. Especially if you have similar goals and similar struggles. Hope to hear from you all soon. Jacki

    Hi Jacki, I'm Kristel. Your story sounds similar to mine - I think we have a lot in common (age, weight, goals, etc.) I will send you a friend request.
