Back Again...

I'm returning to MFP after a long hiatus. I've actually lost weight since being away, but I was using MediFast and now want to continue my weight loss journey using a more natural and practical approach. I don't have children, but my job keeps me quite busy, so planning ahead is key for me. I have 40-45 pounds to permanently release. My ambitious goal is to do so by the end of December 31, 2013. My more practical goal is to reach that mark by my 32nd birthday next March.

I'm amazed at how much support and accountability can do for healthy living efforts, so I'm looking for new friends. I admit that I'm usually terribly inconsistent about posting on the boards, but I am committed to completing my diary everyday and responding to status updates in the news feed.

Here's to healthy living!
