in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. I have finally decided to commit to losing all this extra weight. I just discovered myfitnesspal while looking for a good way to track my food intake. Today I met with my doctor and he gave me tons of good information and helped me set up a diet and exercise plan. I hope that regular meetings with him and awesome tools like this one will help me to stay on track. I gained a lot of weight after having my daughter two and a half years ago, and I'm SO ready to get rid of it. I have about 125 pounds to lose, and this is the first time I have really felt optimistic about doing that. I want to wish everyone the best of luck on this journey, and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!
