Hi all!
I am doing this MFP thing (again) after giving up the ghost last year after a 10 pound weight loss. I was feeling smug...and I relaxed. And I gained back ALL 10 pounds PLUS 6 more.
No more. I want to change my life. I have conquered some serious obstacles in the past few years. And while I have been out moving mountains, I have been stress/emotional eating alongside and I find myself heavier than I have ever been.
No more. But I can't do it alone. I need support...and I need to GIVE support. I have gone from 191.5 at the beginning of the year to 184.5 this morning. I am moving my body and I am eating food as fuel. I would like to add like-minded friends who are working toward a goal of a healthier life.
I am 5'6"...my goal weight is 145. Let's do this together!
