Hi everyone. I just joined myfitnesspal today and this is my first group. I have over 100 lbs to lose.

Today at work, my group decided to lose weight together. We are each trying to lose 10% of our weight and I want to keep up with the group. I am hoping that will motivate me to stick with this. I have lost 35 pounds so far but it has taken me two YEARS. Keep in touch and we can all do this together.

So far today I managed to walk for 45 minutes and meet my calorie goal. Super excited--but I do good on the first day. I have a job that involves mostly sitting so I am going to need to up the exercise.
