Hi everybody,

My name is Cathie and I live in Boise. As of tomorrow (23rd) I'll have been here for a month. So far I've lost 11 pounds and am really excited about that. I lost 40 pounds two years ago but gained it all back plus. I am really praying that this is going to be the time that I stick to this. I guess only time will tell. I have five beautiful grandchildren...four girls and one boy. They range in age from almost six down to two. My three children thought that I needed one a year so that's what they gave me. Those precious little babies are my "reason". I am really glad to be here because when I think about putting something into my mouth I stop and think about writing it down. Crazy huh? I'm the only one that will see it.

    I am doing this for the same reasons, I want to be there for my kids and grandkids. If you can get your family to join you on MFP it will be a great support to you. When I fell of the diet and exercise wagon while on vacation a few weeks ago it was my sister who wrote me a note telling me it was time to come back online and continue tracking my diet and exercise. Also, making your food diary public to "friends" is fun because you can check each other out, rope each other in and exchange great recipe and menu ideas. Best wishes in you continued education, cause that's what this is. :flowerforyou:

    Hi Cathie!

    Congratulations on your weight loss!

    I don't think you are crazy about writing it down at all, in fact, it is a damn good idea!

    I agree that it is exciting too, I've been here twelve weeks now and loved every minute of it, this Site is definitately a good motivator!

    I think that's why MFP works so well... it holds us accontable for ourselves and our choices. And all the buddies we make on here, as well... they keep you honest. It's a perfect formula.

    Congrats on getting back in the game!! If you need a friend, just let me know. :flowerforyou:
