A Fresh Start/A New Commitment

Hi everyone,

I just joined MFP this week. I lost 35 pounds with the help of another online source but then I got stuck. I stopped tracking but continued to eat well and exercise. I have not gained anything back but I am now determined to lose my last 6 pounds and reach the goal I originally set for myself last October. I planned to achieve that goal by this past May but the summer has come and gone and I'm not there yet. I found MFP while doing an online search and so far I love it! It is very user friendly and I really like that it takes your daily exercise into account while calculating calories. My first weigh in since starting with MFP is tomorrow and I'm really excited to see the results. Getting back in shape and finally losing the "baby fat" from my three wonderful children has made such a difference in my day to day life. I can finally go to my closest and pick out clothes based on what I feel like wearing rather than on what fits or what will be comfortable. ALL my clothes are comfortable now and I've even packed away the "fat" clothes to make room for my new wardrobe (one piece at a time ) I became so inspired by my exercise routine that I went out and got certified to teach the classes! And I'm healthier than ever. What a difference the past year has made. So here's to another fresh start with MFP and the loss of those pesky last six before the holidays.
