Ready to Jump Into The Message Board Pool

Hello everyone. My name is Lisa. Back in February after a dietician recommended it, I joined MFP to keep better track of both of food intake and fitness so I could see where I was succeeding and where I needed to do some work. This has by far been the most useful tool.

I have tried to lose weight many times before but I feel that this time I am in it to win it. After a scare at the doctor's office I decided it was time to seriously try again. In January of 2012 I weighed around 328. Today I am now down a little over 60 pounds. It has been a struggle (some bad days but many good ones). I have found that really do enjoy eating healthier and trying new things and I have come to LOVE spending time at the gym. My two newest loves are Zumba and Les Mills Body Pump.

I don't always have a ton of time but recently I have peeked into the message boards and found some amazingly wonderful topics on so many things that I have myself struggled with or questioned. There are also so many inspiring people who have done so well. I feel I can learn so much from you all.

I am looking to add some friends with similar stories or just those that have things to share as I continue on my journey. Would love to gain perspective from some new people and find a new level of help and support (which can be so key).

Please feel free to look at my profile and add me if you would like. Looking forward to meeting some new people.

Take care.
