This is my first full week on here. I have to say it is helping me so much to lose weight. I am 37, I live in NJ, I am married to an awesome man for 8 years, I have a son who is 7. I have been overweight my whole life. DID EVERYTHING to lose the weight even surgery and failed it all. I found this site on my i-phone and I am loving it. I am making small goals for myself and I feel like I will be more successful.

    Welcome Denise, I hope you find MFP as helpful as I have. I find myself being obsessed with what my calorie intake is. I have even logged my dinner (if I know what I am having) prior to eating so I know how many calories I can have. The other night after dinner, I was logging mine and my husbands dinners and saw we both went over on our daily allowance. So I looked at him and said ok put leashes on dogs, we're going for a walk. I thought he would have a stroke...lol. Dogs weigh between 50 and 90 lbs, and like to pull. I have one bad knee and just had the other replaced in May. It was a struggle, but it was a first.

    Anyway, I hope you find the inspiration you need on here. Feel free to friend me if you want.

    Good Luck!!!

    It is nice to meet you. I came home friday and my husband had a surprise for me in the yard. He bought me the cutest PINK bike. I love it. My son and I went for a ride and I thought my thighs were going to burn right off of my legs. The ride coming back was all up hill. I also went out and bought the Reebok tone-up sneakers ( I think that is what they are called) and they also work. I am happy that I made it my first full week. I keep on thinking to myself You eat to live not live to eat. I hope you have a great week. I love to see all of the positive people on here.
