Hi everyone!

Hello, I joined MFP a week ago March 9th, I have battled weight issues most of my life. Over the past 6 years I have weighed north of 400 pounds and have slowely gotten to a point it is hard for me to do anything. About a month ago I decided I was go to try something new, I made an appiontment with a dietitian. On March 9th I had my first appointment with the dietitian and when i weighed in I was shocked at the 474.6 lbs on the scale. I knew I weighed over 400 but closer to 500 I was very disappointed in myself. I had already made the desided to make changes in my life before my appointment but now I knew I had to make this work. I have a lot of things I want to lose weight for, mostly for me but there are others. I have a 7 year old nephew and 2 year old neice, they are my world. Anyway, i am not going to ramble on about why.
So, I went back to the dietitian yesterday March 16th and have lost my first 9 lbs. I am excited to see that things appear to be working this time. I am not starving myself and it has not been as hard as I thought. Again hello, and I wish everone the best.
