Hi everyone.
My name is Wendy - and I have been struggling off and on (read that caring and not caring) about losing 15 pounds for several years. i have a 4 year old and really just need to be healthier - better food and more activity. A good example as well as live longer (I am 39)

My friend Jean introduced me to the site a few days ago and I am hoping that this will help me see my actions a bit more clearly to help me stay focused.

Anyway - thanks!
Wendy

A lot of motivational stuff here. Lect posted a thread of "Success Stories" which incidentally ONLY PHOTOS (LOL) and you can find it here to give you motivation: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/404049-the-ultimate-pic-thread-only-pictures

And here's mine: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/403233-lost-96lbs-and-made-top-10-in-physique-contest

I'll be honest with you, motivation gets you started, but it's habit that will get you results.

Enjoy and stay motivated,
N

Welcome to MFP. The best advice I can give you is to be very anal about logging what you eat and do as soon as you can. This site is amazing and has practically every food I have eaten.
