in Introduce Yourself
Good morning! I'm going to try this app to lose weight. I am morbidly obese and - although they say not - am sure I embarrass my kids. I know I disgust myself but have a horrible time with controlling my eating. I will begin tracking on Monday because we have baseball out of town all weekend.

Any encouraging words are appreciated!

    Hello! My name is Laura. I'm a mom of 2 wonderful kids - a boy and a girl. I've been with my husband since I was 14. I need to lose about 120 pounds. I wish I could magically make it disappear.

    Thought I'd give this app a go......Have been using Couch to 5K and recently joined a gym...Have about 14llb to lose for a holiday end of October so I'm hoping that keeping track of my calorie intake vs exercise will help me. I'm 46 and am finding it harder and harder to shed the excess pounds as I'm getting older...walk my dog most days...and now run with the dog 3 days........any advise welcome.

    Welcome to MFP. I joined this site in January and found it an excellent way to keep control of my calorie intake. In a relatively short time I had hit my goals and now use the site to keep track of what I eat and the exercise I do.

    Good luck to all of you on your journeys and feel to add me as a friend

    Welcome!

    It's a great place to start but remember it's a marathon not a sprint and you can do it if you put your mind to it!

    O: I'm full of cliches today!
