in Introduce Yourself
Today is my first day on MFP and I am still trying to negate the website and figure out how to calculate everything. I started my SSSLLLLOW weight loss journey at the beginning of the year..

I am down 8.4lbs so far and getting more strict with what I am doing. I am short (5ft) and currently at 164.6 and my goal is 127ish..

Add me! :-)

    Welcome. I started at 262, Down to 250, my goal is 210. Weight watchers wanted me down to 180 but I say they are crazy. But when I hit my goals I'll add before and after. But for now, before photo is my motivator!

    I started WW in January and lasted a couple of months.. Diets I don't do so well, but working out I can handle.. It seems when I am on a diet I eat more because I am not allowed to.. So for now I am careful what I eat, but I am not all "no sweets" gung ho!!

    My before pics seem to motivate me.. I was 125 before I had my twins and thats what I want to get back down to..

    I did WW at the beginning of the year and lost about 10lbs and gained about 5 of it back.. Then in August started working out. I use Jillian Michaels 5-6 times a week, do Pilates on the days I don't do Jillian Michaels, and walk 2 miles when my ankles will permit it.. I have a treadmill I just haven't been able to schedule a time when I can get my husband when he's not busy and his buddy's as it's not a small one.. Hopefully they can get it here soon so I can walk everyday when the twins nap.. We live on a ginormous hill and pushing the double stroller just isn't doable with my bad ankles. I was getting up before my husband left for work and doing the 2 miles but my ankles are having a hard time adjusting to the workout and I figure the workout burns more calories..

    Hi, I'm new too. It's time for me to make a significant life-change in regards to my diet and level of activity and it's nice to have the support of others who are doing the same thing.
