in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone!

So this is Round 2 of attempting to stay on track in getting healthy with the help of MFP! I signed up a few months ago on here but never really did anything about it. I've had my good days and I've had my bad days but NOW is the time to stay on track.

It finally hit me how unhealthy I've been (I'm 26, 4'10" and weigh 149lbs.) and it hit me even more when I see my hubby struggling with his weight. He is 26, 5'8" and 260 lbs. It's taken a huge toll on our family especially now that our baby girl who is 14 months is WALKING! We just cannot keep up with her.

Anyway, we've finally went grocery shopping and I've gotten my hubby to exercise for the first time last night so we're off to a good start! Probably not a wise decision but I was able to walk 5.5 miles this past Saturday! So sore but I feel great! It was my first time in a long time to exercise! We are so DETERMINED! :smile:

I've found myself signed on to MFP more than FB. IMuch more useful to life, for sure! =)

Can't wait to share our progress as a family!

Our inspiration! :heart:

    good luck to you and your hubby. I recommend reading, and performing the exercise, in my will power blog below to help with the mental part of this journey.

    Welcome and good luck. It's great you've got your husband on-board too.

    I love MFP and affectionately refer to it as "Facebook for Fatties" when trying to explain to outsiders.

    This is a great place for support and keeping you on the straight and narrow :happy:

    Hey I'm new! Hard to go about friending people on this site...I'm the first of all of my circles! If anyone is around the Seattle area and wants to chat, send me a message! I need the tough love to keep the goal coming. Thanks!

    lol.. I agree.. I've noticed it as well.. Facebook is stopping to work, at first was fun, but now it's getting very boring. It's better in here to read things and opinions of people who are on the same boat.. such as get fit! and congratulations, your girl is gorgeous. :D
