Hello Everyone!

I started using MFP on Monday and I'm glad to be here. I struggle with being consistent but really need to make a change. I am 5"3 and weight 175. That's 5 more lbs than I weighed last December when I gave birth to my daughter! I lost my dad in June and have gained 15lbs since then. I am severely depressed over my dad and just life circumstances and eat dessert all day long and watch way too much TV. My dad's birthday was September 12th and he would have been 52. I started doing 52 random acts of kindness in his honor and want to do one a week ( or day) for the next 52 weeks. One of my " acts of kindness" is to take care of myself. I have 3 small children and they need a healthy energetic mama. I would like to lose 52 lbs by my dad's next birthday. That would bring me to my college weight 10 years ago. My kids birthday's are exactly 3 months apart and I want to lose 13lbs each time. So far, so good. I've stayed under my calories everyday and it was made me so much more aware of how much I eat. I really hope I can do this!
