New here - first week weigh in Wednesday!

Hi! I just joined about 5 days ago, and will weigh myself after the first week on Wednesday morning. Looking forward to seeing if the scale has moved any or not! :) I have about 70lbs to lose. I've battled weight my whole life, lose it, gain it. I'm an ovo lacto vegetarian, who has slipped - too many carbs and too much cheese and not enough veggies! So, I'm hoping that MFP's journaling will help me get back to eating a balanced diet. I'm 47 now, and things just seem to get tougher with age!

Thanks for listening to my story, and I've loved reading the before and afters on this site, and hope to be one of them someday!
