Ready to kick my weight loss into gear!

in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone. I'm Tina. I'm 39 and have to lose around 85lbs to be considered healthy. My daughter entered us both in a Warrior Mud Race in June 2014, so I'm planning on working hard and doing my best to reach my goal weight. I plan on doing this healthily and not trying to lose it all in the first month. I'm actually excited to be beginning this and would love to meet new people, as an online support system. I plan on turning 40 next August better than I looked turning 30! I am married with 2 kids, 18 and 16. My husband has stuck by me and tried supporting me though my million different weight loss plans. Finally the penny dropped and I realize this is a new lifestyle, not another quick fad diet. So would love to connect with people who are in the same boat as me. :)

    Welcome, MudWarrior! Love that name, btw. I'm 41, have 3 kiddos, 14,10, and 8. I also had 85 lbs to lose. I am almost 1/2 way there. I'll send you a friend request...having support has made a huge difference in my journey.

    I am new to this site/app. I cannot figure out how to set my weekly calories to start on Saturday instead of Monday. Has anyone done this change?

    Sounds like we have a lot in common - I am too busy for great exercise right now so really focusing on diet. I have good times and bad times, like a lot of us. Next May when my daughter and I graduate we are going to do at least a 5 k and we are looking for something like a paint/ mud who knows... It'll take some time to get there, but you hit the nail on the head with the lifestyle change. It has to be this way. I'm sooooo done being a "dieter" and feeling bad about me. Welcome to MFP!
