Hello

My name is Danielle. I've been using MFP for a while now, but decided to get involved in the message boards now that I'm reaching my maintenance phase.

My journey started years ago. I started losing weight without realizing. I guess when you have that much excess weight any little lifestyle change helps. Long story short, I have lost around 130 pounds all together. MFP helped me with the last 40 or so.

Now that I'm reaching my goal, I'm scared to death about gaining everything back. I don't have a ton of free time for exercise (although there is a weight room at my workplace that I use in the mornings) and its hard to eat healthy on a budget. I figure joining the community will help keep me motivated.
