Hey everybody!!

Just thought I should put somewhere in the group my goals.

Started using MFP full time last Thursday - 03/07/2013. Weight: 220
03/06/2013 WI: 217

4 week goal - down 5 pounds (minimum)

Another goal is to start incorporating exercise 3/week. I hope to increase that as winter slowly goes away (live in rural Minnesota).

Great! I can use all the enthusiastic people I can find to keep me gong.

So excited to be here!

Hi I am also new to the group. Wanted to stop by and say hello my name is Sandy and I am trying to get back on track and put me first this time. I am currently taking care of my husband and kids so I always put me last. My husband is diabetic and has bipolar and depression really bad to where he has mood swings every day. I give him his Insulin every night and trying to get him healthy and I forgot about me. I have 6 kids from ages 4 to 11 so I am a busy mom. I try to fit in 10 minutes here and there of exercise. I am currently 214 and my goal is to get down to 140. I also struggle with emotional eating and insomnia and I am a smoker as I can smoke over a pack a day. I don't handle stress well and that why I smoke which I know is a no no but it calms me. I am here for support and motivation. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know you all better along this journey. Sandy

Hi everyone! I'm excited in 4 weeks ill be seeing my friends and family again (most who I haven't seen for almost 2 years since i live abroad) so I really want to get in gear and look awesome coming home, so the next 4 weeks are critical!

I usually like to do cardio at the gyms and just go all out, try to burn as many cals as possible. I wear and HRM and am usually in the highest hear rate zone. I've decided to try to spend some more exercise time in the "fat burning" and "cardio" zones, even thoug it feels a lot easier. Has anyone had any luck with something like this?

Wonderful progress

Cathy
