New one from the cold midwest ....

Options
Hello everyone. I did a search on google and found this website and am going to try this out and hope for some good motivation from others with the same goal as me .... to lose those pesky pounds. From what I've seen so far on myfitnesspal I've been impressed.

I'm a 34 year old mom, wife and full time student who uses the oldest excuse in the book ...... "I don't have time to exercise." I am going to give this my best effort in hopes of losing weight, feeling better about myself and hopefully losing about 20 pounds (that's my ultimate goal).

Good luck to everyone out there!! Better get on the treadmill before getting the kids to bed!!

    WELCOME!

    I am from the midwest too. If you have to shovel the amount of shoveling needed in Chicago lately, you should be able to lose the weight no problem!!!

    Good Luck!

    Hi from Chicagoland.

    You will love the site. It really works. Everyday I learn something new.

    The payoffs are daily to eating well and exercising. They are also immediate.

    Good luck on your goals.
