Change is an important, yet difficult part of our lives. My daughter encouraged me to join myfitnesspal. She has changed her lifestyle, lost 10 lbs, and looks great. She is my support and my inspiration.
Through the years I have had many attempts at losing weight I think I am finally ready to do something for me!
Looking back, the only time I was at my goal weight was right after college and a couple of years before I married. Ten years ago I had cancer surgery and radation to my neck. Well, as they say, "every cloud has a silver lining" and I lost over 50 pounds. Now most of the weight is back on. I am ready to take care of myself.
I think this is a super site, and I look forward receiving support from other members, as well as hopefully being supportive to others as I follow a new path in my journey. Thanks for your replys and support!
