in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone I'm Q! I'm 24 and a single father of 2. I tried MFP once before in 2011 but due to school/work/kids and horrible weather in Chicago I just quit. This time I have more support and more time and a lot more motivation. Recently I have been eating better and going to the gym 3-4 times a week after work and I feel a lot better! So far since mid-December I have lost 24 pounds but I still have a long way to go! That's all I suppose, nice meeting you all in advance.

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the weather as a excuse to give up their weight loss efforts before

    It was -40 here yesterday and that is enough to make anyone want to hide. If it hadn't been a work day I definitely would have stayed inside in my pj's.

    It doesn't matter what excuses we've all had in the past; the important thing is that you've made the commitment now to live a healthier life.

    Way to go!

    I agree...welcome back! Although, I'm brand new on this site. I've only been recording for a week. So far, though, I'm soooooo impressed. The ease of recording your calories and activity pulled me in early on. I love it. Then, when I did my weigh in this morning and I had lost 3 pounds, I thought let's stick with this. Hope it continues. And I hope you have really good results with MFP. I hope I continue to do, as well. The best to you.

    congrats on your 24 lbs and two kids no better reason to be busy. love your stache, is it ironic? can't wait to see it when you lose weight and it stays the same size.
