It's new to me!

Hi, my name is Cathy. I'm a young 47. I was informed of this website quite sometime ago by a nutritionist. I never followed her advice and used the tool. I recently came across it again and I have been tracking my food, etc. I'm loving this. I have 100+ lbs to lose and I'm committed to doing this. If there are any ladies out there that would like to be a support to one another, please contact me. If you live in the Everett, WA area, I would love a workout partner of some sort. I'm thinking of joining a gym for $10 a month. Would love to speak to the ladies out there that are in need of a weight loss buddy. I wish you all the best of success in your journey!

    Glad you found the site, tracking everything has really helped me, that and meeting people that are on the same journey has been the best thing. I've got about 95 lbs more to go to reach my ultimate goal! If you'd like to add me please do :)

    Hi, Cathy! I also live in the PacNW. I'm 38 and have about 35 lbs to go, not quite halfway through my weight loss journey. I log daily and would be glad to help motivate and encourage! Please feel free to add me. =)

    Hi Cathy, welcome to MFP! I too am 47 years young. I have about 65 lbs yet to lose (lost 24 since 1/3/13). MFP is a great tool, but it only works if you make the effort. Log everything you eat and all the exercise you get and you will begin to see results. Send me a friend request if you'd like.

    Thank you! Yes, we can do this! I gained back 85 pounds I had lost a few years ago and I must get it back off! My biggest issue is eating at night. I get hungry at 8-10pm and I feel like munching. I need to nip that quick!! We will support each other through this...it can only get better! Hang in there and keep in touch! :wink:
