New to MFP and feeling good :)

Hi All,

New to MFP and feeling good... about my decision to join and make some changes in my life. (Scholars will look back on this date and note this profound decision came when I noticed that each of my arms have two, count 'em TWO STRETCH MARKS! My arms have never had stretch marks so the line has been drawn and I'm moving on!)

Anyways, marks and my inability to reach my toes aside, I'm here, I'm clear and ready for change.

(Add me as a friend if you so wish)

Looking forward to reading and celebrating everyone's successes!

    No offense, but stretch marks aren't that big of a deal. I mean, I'm glad that you decided to join, but because of stretch marks? I have stretch marks all over my body (especially around my torso) because of my various growth spurts, and I'm completely okay with them. I also have stretch marks on my arms, and they're not the end of the world. Just saying.

    Stretch-marks aren't THE reason, they are a bi-product of the weight I've gained that I've never had before.

    I've ignored my weight gain for some time and those stretch-marks were like the smack on my head I needed.

    Those marks are the indicator to prove that the scale didn't make up the 45 pounds I`ve gained... :)

    I wish I had two stretch marks *kicks can down the street*

    Ha! Oh I have plenty more but these are the straws that broke the camel`s back :)

    But this camel will be less-lumpy over time!
