    I just sent you an add request. So happy to see you here. I really liked what you said on your page about wanting what is inside you, your soul, to show on the outside. I think it already does just based on your picture :-) but I know what you mean.

    Right now I am doing a lot of swimming and this week I am going to start doing some cardio work seated and see how it goes. I can't do it standing/moving on my feet due to some leg and knee issues so it's kind of hard to get good cardio workouts. We'll see what we can do! I've got some big arms so lifting them over and over again real fast might work! The staff at the YMCA is helpful to the extreme, so...

    Anyway, best of luck to you, and so glad to see you've joined this place. ((HUGS))

    Hey Everyone :)

    Just came across this site and it looks wonderful, such a great thing to have people being able to support you along the way.

    Feel free to add me, i would love to chat with you all :)

    You can do it. Believe me, if I can do it so can you. It's been a long, hard journey and I'm still struggling every day but believe me, it is well worth it.

    Girl, just remember that this isn't a diet you just need to change your eating habits.....There may hiccups alone the way but don't let it get you down, just look at it as a bump along the way to the new you.....:drinker:

    Feel free to add me! I've began this journey myself at the beginning of May of this year. So far, so good! Having the support of those here on MFP really helps me keep it up! I'm also proof that giving up soda, eating right and counting calories really works! I wish you luck, I know you can do it if you set your mind to it!

    Welcome to MFP

    Just popping in to say add me if you please. I don't comment often, but I post daily and have an open Diary. Shoot me a message and I'll be happy to answer any questions if I know the answer. I'm no professional when it comes to fitness or health but I know enough that it's working for me!

    Cheers!

    I recently quit smoking too. Exercise is definitely important at this point, because as I'm sure you know quitting makes you want to eat EVERYTHING.
    Think about it like this though: the more you weigh the quicker the lbs drop, so if you stick with it you will see a lot of early progress. Been using MFP for a month now and I've lost 22 lbs so far. Add me if you like. Anyone can add me.
