Hi ... I'm Angela and I am starting my weight loss journey here on MFP. I finally think I found the tool here I need to be successful.
I lost 5 lbs this week and am really motivated now to keep going. I would love to make some new friends here for motivation and advice. I would love to be an encourager to you too. Have a Blessed Day! Angela!:flowerforyou:

    Hi, my name is annette and i am new at this also. I have tried so many different programs and like most of you i failed. This time I am so ready ..... Mostly for health reasons and to keep up with my grandbabie that are 3 (twins). I have been on this for about 2 weeks now and lost maybe 5 pounds. And ready to keep going, its not that hard just log everthing you eat. We all can do this together. May God bless you and help you. :flowerforyou:

    Absolutely wonderful! Get ready for the see-saw ride, but when you finish you'll come out on top(That's what they tell me). I'm only down 3 lbs, we gotta start somewhere. Remember we are fearfully and wonderfully made. And with 5 lbs down I'm already scared of you. :laugh: God speed!
