Nice to meet you

Hi, My name is Kari,I am lucky enough to work in a gym ,so I am excited to get fit and use the equipment and tone up !! I need to lose about 60lbs . my Dr. wants me to lose 25lbs like yesterday and I am doing my best but it isn't easy I walk everywhere because we don't have a car,I am working on getting my water in,lots of fruit and veggies portions and cravings !! I have gluten sensitivity so foods are limited anyway.
I have a wonderful husband ,who is very supportive,3 great kids and I want to be more fit and active this summer ,be a "fun" mom !! I absolutely love my job,looking after children 6 weeks to 12 years so parents can workout. It's also hard seeing so many amazingly fit people and walking by all the mirrors. I have to take it one step at a time,day by day. I will get there

Looking forward to meeting so great people on here to share my weight loss journey ...

Hi Kari and Holly
Nice to join this group. Kari, how lucky that you work at a gym...no excuses for you I guess! Me? I have to get up about 5:30 am to get to a gym because if I don't I rarely have the time to go during the day, and forget evenings! I am so tired after work that I head straight home.

Anyway I started this fitness pal at 221 (I am 5'9", male). I figure I am about 30 pounds over. But now I fluctuate between 216 and 218.

I think it depends on when you weigh yourself during the day. So now I am trying to weigh fist thing in the mornign when I get up before going to the gym..I love that time because I always seem lighter. How do you ladies do it?

Hello everyone. I just decided to log back on the MFP today after having it for a few months. After a stressful year I gained 20+lbs I am sooooo motivated to get back to a healthy status. I want to get my weight down and health better before I get pregnant. I hope this helps.. I already invited my best friend to join me!!! Nice meeting you all!
