Hi! Newbie here...need some friends!

Hi, I'm Autumn. I'm new to MFP. As a Wellness Champion for the Wellness Group at work, I know that I need to first start with myself. I've been overweight my entire life, and I've started many times on various weight loss tracks, but I always get distracted or stop. This time I am determined to do it. For myself, and of course to be a better example for my co-workers.

Anyways, I need some support and encouragement, and probably a little pushing every now and again. I'm very excited to find MFP. I have the app on my iPhone, and I'm ready to go!

So feel free to add me and help a girl out! :) Feel free to push me. One reason why I love Jillian Michaels is because she doesn't hold back, but she's got a great heart. Hoping to meet some people on here just like that!

    remember, Track Track Track. Stay under your limits and give it 12 weeks. You'll be amazed.

    Welcome! Tracking REALLY helps - I just started and am already seeing a slight difference. As for Jillian Michaels - I liked her a lot until about an hour ago, when I started 30 Day Shred for the first time. Now I would kick her, if I could lift my legs :)

    Yes, I've started 30 day shred before as well. Going to get back into it. I only wish Jillian were in my living room, that would be great motivation because she scares me. But in a good way!
