in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. It's Christmas Eve and for some reason when I woke up today it felt like the day to start making changes. I need to lose a 100 lbs, but that's not my main goal. My main goal is health. Eat healthy, exercise, be healthy in mind and body!

Here's to a new year, may it be better than the last one!

:heart:

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
    As far as exercise goes, it doesn't always have to be awful. For my exercise, I walk almost every day, (weather permitting!) I also dance to a fast oldies CD that my husband made up of all my favorite old songs. (Like "Love Shack", Wild, Wild West", "Mony, Mony", "Footloose", and "Gloria")
    It's free, (unlike a gym!) fun, and I can even watch tv at the same time, so I never get bored! :happy:
    I also have Wii Fit, and jog to that, which is a lot of fun, and easy too! :smile:
    So, to make a LONG story short, make good food choices, eat in moderation, get some exercise, and you WILL lose the weight that you want to! :smile:

    Hi my name is Deana (dena) and i just joined this site. So getting to know the site and how it wrks.

    I am here to help me get myself toned up and as that happens i will loose the weight. I am doing this for myself and no one else.
    I will have to check on my wii fit plus to see what my goal weight is, think its about 20 pounds. That is a fun game as you can call it to have the whole family has fun with it. We laugh along with each other and cheer each other along as well.
    I also have the biggest looser as well and been doing that along with my girls Kelsey and Melissa. Melissa is wanting to loose weight and get into shape kelsey just does it for fun but that is okay. Dh found the golf range on the wii fit and loves it. We have game night on Thursday night ( its my friday night) and now we add the wii to it. My normal wrk schedule i get up at 2am so have to go to bed early.

    I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and having fun.

    Oh my family and I also run a farm and an animal rescue as needed basis.
