Hi, All!

I'm new to this and just now getting into the community. Mom of 3 from PA and life-long struggle with losing and maintaining healthy weight. MFP has helped me realize that even though I thought I was eating very little, the hips don't lie! I've tried many diets and my Endocrinologist even tried putting me on weight-loss pills, but I'm just not a pill person and I couldn't tolerate the side effects. So, I'm determined to do this on my own. I don't want to lose a lot of weight, maybe 20-25 pounds. As long as I'm healthy, I'm OK with having my curves!

So far, I'm down six pounds according to the scale, but I'm not really feeling it in my body. I'm assuming much of that was water weight.

Anyway, wish me luck!

    6 pounds is amazing! Keep at this, it works. If anything, it helps keep you accountable and that's what I need most. :smile: I have the same weight loss goals as you...20-25 pounds.

    Add me as a friend, if you'd like. I log on daily!

    Good luck to you! You can do this! :smile:
