Introducing myself

Hi all, I have been a viewer on MFP for about 1 year give or take a few months. I am putting this out there because they say if you say it out loud and write it down you will keep your goals! I have recently divorced (On Valentines day of all days) and have come through some very tough times, 3 family members passing in one year and my mother only a few years ago. I have suffered from Fibromyalgia and pain issues and had a hip replacement in 2011 not to mention 3 abdominal surgeries in the last 2 years.

2013 is my overcoming year! I have nothing left to loose except the weight and I pledge to you all to be involved and passionate about my journey. At this time I desire to loose 75lbs and hopefully before my 50th birthday in October! ( I know I must be reasonable but that is my desire 36 weeks!) I do have a safe goal of 2 lbs per week and would be open to hearing your stories of success and what you are doing to accomplish your goals.
Cheers!
T :smile:
