New here

Options
Season's Greetings to all of you... I am new here, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stephanie, I'm 38 years old. I've always been a bit of an emotional eater so counting calories is new for me. I'm noticing that I can eat anything I want as long as the calories are accounted for.

Anyway, I'm weighing in at 205 and 5'5".... and my goal is to lose 1 pound per week. I didnt get fat overnight so of course I won't get skinny overnight. I just hope I can stay patient and on track!

    Welcome to MFP. It's good to see you aren't here thinking you can drop it all quickly. Slow and steady does win this race. You will do just fine. Good luck!

    Hi Stephanie, i have been a member for a while on here but havent been able to stick to counting calories....until now after seeing our christmas snapshots!!! I am 5ft 4 and have approx 5 stone to lose so i think i am going to be on here for a while!!! My main motivation now is to stay healthy for my children and of course to feel good about myself like the old days when i was slim. I am 40 and have been overweight for about ten years, i hope it doesnt take me ten years to shift the weight :smile: If you want to add me as a friend on here feel free and good luck with your weight loss journey xx
