    Hi everyone, my name is Andrea. I have been trying to lose weight for awhile now on MFP and really need a support group like you all to help me keep myself accountable!! I love the Daily check in's. I am currently trying to lose 50 pounds so that I can get out of the 200 lb range. I look forward to speaking with you all in coming weeks : )

    Since this is my first day I will post today's personal goal: To stay under my calorie intake for the day

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Over slightly on calories
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I've never been known to watch the biggest loser but for the past couple of weeks we've (husband, daughter and I) been watching it. I've been trying not to make my 12 year old daughter crazy about eating and healthy lifestyle (not weight!!) but I have been bringing different things to her attention (chicken with her carbs, snack on cheese, not chips, invite her to the Y with me.) We both have a membership but I try to go at lunchtime. She already dances 4+ hours a week... Last night after watching the show she asked me if we could go to the Y swimming on Thursday nights. I was shocked! Please note: I hate swimming in the winter. I think the high for Thurs is 12degrees. I swam competitively for 8 years...LOL. Of course I said "that is a great idea". She thinks we should alternate, one week - pool, other week - elliptical, bike, treadmill. WOW! I will make sure to follow through. This is great for both of us!!! Maybe I will stop gaining :explode:
    What would I have done differently? log all my calories last night and not finish logging this morning
    What is today's personal goals? check in and track calories. Taking the day off from exercise - not feeling 100%.

    Mon - 40 mins elliptical
