Hello!

I am new to MFP (one week) and am already seeing results (3 lbs)! I love how easy it is to log food and know that this is the best way to keep myself accountable. I also love that little line that says “if every day was like today, you would weigh ### in five weeks”. It inspires me to do more.

A little about me:
I am 47 (for one more month), female, married w/2 adult girls (the baby moved back home recently), full time manager, novice (aka slow) runner, timid cook (I know what I know), and generally an optimist that looks for the positives in just about everything.

My weight loss journey:
I was the skinny tall girl (6ft) until after I quit growing (age 20). Never really lost the “baby” weight after having a baby (age 25) then just let it continue to slide up over the years a little at a time. I dieted and exercised a little here and there and maintained a reasonable, if too high, weight. My top end was around 220 (age 43). That year I lost my mother and my baby left for college leaving me with nothing to focus on but…well…me. My husband and I started the plan laid out in the book “You on a Diet”, by Dr Oz and started walking every day together. We both saw a lot of success (I lost 35 lbs) but life somehow got back in the way. Add in several injuries in the last two years (one life-threatening) and voila’, here I am. I have already let go of 8 lbs by going gluten-free (for digestive reasons) last November and now have another 3 off with MFP this week. I have about 20-25 to go.

Whew! Done. Yeah, I really just put all that out there. Are you still with me? If so, and you would like a friend that will cheer your victories and support you through the tough times, I’m here! Looking to share support with other positive people.

Feel free to add me if you'd like. I'm 19, so I realize there's a bit of an age difference however any kind of support is support in my eyes and I am a very optimistic person.

You may add me as well.. I am 46, for one more month only :laugh: No 2 legged kids but 3 four legged fur kids.. I am near goal weight, depending on day probably within 5-8 pounds. I am a runner, just really started last year and have run several 5Ks, a 10K, a half marathon and I am currently training for my second half marathon. My problem is eating too much in social situations, weekdays I do great, weekends bad... I like my cocktails too...
