in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! I am here because I have come to the conclusion after trying to lose weight for years, I will never do it without support and accountability. I am worn out from waking up every day and having to think about my weight. I am hovering on the edge of type II diabetes. My husband of 26 years and 5 grown children try to be supportive but none of them are even a pound overweight and if you have never been there, you just don't get it. I am the kind of person that usually never seeks help but I am now.

    Way to go! You've already reached out, that's the best place to start. The great thing about forums is they are full of people going through the same challenges as you are, and you can get empathy, support and understanding.
    You are at the beginning of a great journey. Every day you are under your calorie goal and get some exercise is a successful day! Even if you have a bad day, just remember tomorrow is a new day and you can get right back on track.

    Hi! My name is Mary but my friends call me Penny. I love, love, love MFP and the friends that I have found that motivate and inspire me. I am 48 years old, married for 27 1/2 years, have one son who is 25 and two dogs, boxers, Joe and Jasper. I have lost a bit but still have over 100 pounds to lose. I am on a journey to change my life style. NOT a diet. That is a four letter word to me. My motto is, "ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE MEAL, ONE POUND AT A TIME. THAT'S HOW I HAVE TO DO IT!!" I try not to look at the big picture at this point because when you have a lot of weight to loss it can become overwhelming. Well for me anyway. So...I try my best to live that motto. You can do this!!!! Feel free to add me if you would like. It's a great place with great people. Have a wonderful day!
