in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone
I met my first goal and the result is that I get to introduce myself. I was holding off to see how well I would stick with this program before I joined in. So first goal was 1 month or 10 lbs whichever came first. 10 lbs came first!!!!
I decided on July 31st that I was just sick of "who I have become". 230 lbs 40 yrs old, feeling old. slow and just getting older and slower. So starting on Aug 1st I buckled down. Got up off of my butt and just started walking in place every day and watching what I ate. I have now progressed to walking my block (perfect .25 miles and hilly) until I reach a mile according to my pedometer. Starting in September I am going to incorporate yoga into my routine as well as upping my mileage. I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone here and learn some great knew tips!

Jess

    Welcome and congrats on meeting your first goal! I have found MFP to be quite helpful in my quest for better health especially when you have friends on here with similar goals!

    Hi Jess,

    I'm not new, been around for a while, but I was not serious about MFP as a fitness tool until now. I figured I should give it a go since I canceled my membership with a different weight loss program and I'm having trouble breaking old habits. Anywho, I just wanted to say that I understand exactly where you are and congrats on the 10lbs, that is AWESOME! That is what it is going to take to be successful (small goals that move into great rewards).
