in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,
I have been reading in site for since yesterday now. Feels so good to be here.
I have hopes''' that I can loose this extra 88 lbs on my body that is very much not needed and weighing me down.
( in so many ways )

Loosing this weight over time will help me to be comfortable again. I know in my heart I will never be skinny.
I have never been that skinny girl I always wanted from my teens , 20's 30's and now 40's
I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin again. I miss my size 10/12 clothes too!
I am 5 ft.9 and big boned! I know its not about the number and this time I am doing this for just Me!!

I hope to stay on track , Lord knows I have tried so many times ... Lost the weight only to gain it back in a year or so!!

Each time is harder and harder for me to loose weight too! Glad to have this on my laptop and my cell phone!
I have a good feeling about this change in my life style and staying on track!! This time ''' No Walking away '''
Key for me would be sticking around after I have hit my goal. Staying in the loop or I just go back to old habbits!
Funny how it is so clear to me know. Staying on track and then continue to monitor my weight at goal.

Thanks Myfitnesspal site and everyone here,
Shashaaa

    Just wanted to drop a note to say (((Thank You))) all very much for the warm welcomes and friend supports.:heart::flowerforyou:
    Thank you to my friend ( Melissa ) who showed me the way to this site :-)
    :flowerforyou:

    I need to remind myself always""" that when I hit my goal ( fingers crossed ) I need to stick around ,
    Not just take off thinking I have this thing down and leave!
    When I do leave after I have lost weight and drop out of my accountability ALways> I go back to old habits!!

    This time ~ I have no excuse now! No more excuses!! Not this time I can just feel it ....... Programmed in my phone-and computer.
    STAY Connected!! << Key

    I have more hopes today then yesterday of loosing and getting to goal.
    Also and sticking to goal ( Maintenance ) What a chore hey? I have no clue really I never have stuck to it, Just hit goals and walked? Seems I have always gained my weight back in a year or two.......

    I should know better then that! So anyhows~ Good days and Bad I am blessed to be able to track no matter what!!
    For me that has been a big key in how I can loose the extra weight to be healthy and free!

    Today I choose to eat right and treat my body with love and kindness & I sure hope you do too! :flowerforyou:

    Blessings to all & Happy Weekend everyone to you and your family!! :heart:

    Reading your post was like it came from my mouth. Since starting MFP I am losing weight and staying on track. I'm going to send you a friend request because it is important to have encouragement and the ability to see what others are doing that works.
    I wish you well on this important journey. YOU CAN DO IT!
