Hold the phone! I just met my goal!

For ****s & giggles I stepped on the scale the other morning and realized that I was almost a pound and a half under my goal weight. I was so excited I forgot to put deodorant on before I left for two job interviews (still killed it on both of them).

I joined MFP about two years ago after my dad had a stroke and I realized I needed to make some serious changes in my life if I wanted to have a long and healthy life. I almost met my goal about 15 months ago but gained most of that weight back again. The support of my friends on MFP helped me get back on track.

There are a lot of arguments on here about what I consider to be the little details of health and fitness. I think that everyone is different. What works for me - eating whole grains, fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and smaller portions coupled with walking all over the place - may not work for someone else. I'm not an athlete. I'm not in training. I'm just a lady who wants to be healthy and happy. My MFP friends have been hugely supportive and a fantastic resource. The MFP iPod Touch app helped me learn how to manage my diet and fitness. I am so grateful for both.

Thank you guys for being awesome. You rock!
