Hi! I actually started my weight loss journey in August 2011. I weighed 178 lbs at 5'6" and 32 years old. This was my all time highest weight. I did not recognize the person I'd become when I looked in the mirror. Since August, I have lost 32 lbs and now weigh 146 lbs. I am hoping to reach my ultimate goal of 130 lbs. I haven't weighed this probably since middle school. I'm hoping that MFP can provide me with the support and resources I need to reach my goal. Please feel free to add me.

    here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
    1. Make MFP your home page
    2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards... post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about it.
    3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than butt load of change all at once
    4. Always be honest. We al fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support eachother
    5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
    6. Its easier to lift weights than the burdens of carrying weight.
    7. take it one day at a time.
    8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
    9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
    10. Smile. :)
    I don't wish people good luck, I never had it and don't need it! Luck doesn't get you through this... hard work does! :)
