in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself on the boards, and say hello. I have 70+ pounds to lose, and I'm in for a hell of a fight. I know that having support when dealing with a situation like this is one of the most important things, so I plan on being active on these boards :) I chose this site, because the community looked like it was extremely friendly and I saw a lot of encouragement in the weight many of you have lost.

Wish me luck, and luck be with you :)

Mike.

    Hi Mike,

    You have come to the right place to find friends , encouragement , motivation etc. MFP is a great tool to help you lose your weight and get healthy. Dont be discouraged by the amount you want to lose....dont even look at it as such a big chunk....you can lose 1 lb 74 times. lol

    I have lost 83 lbs so far and i dont think i would have gotten as far as i did without the support and encouragment i get here and being accountable with the logging.

    Sounds like your husband makes it to the gym consistently so , follow along and have him teach you so you can get on your way in that area. Make healthy food choices and believe me with determination you will succeed!!!

    Good luck!
