Hi

Hi Mary.

I would suggest that you try and find a few like minded people on the boards to add as mfp buddies, I find that really helped me stay focused and encouraged. Check out the weight loss twin threads for some ideas.

You should fill out your profile as well so that people can see what your goals and motivations are.
