hello all,

new to the website but not new to the game. LOL

Im glad my coworker showed me this website, it will make it easier to track my progress.

Today is day 1 of my diet. My intended goal is 35 lbs but will reach for 50 to make myself work that much harder to reach it

    Thanks for the support.

    I will definitely add you as soon as I figure out how. LOL

    Day 1 was not as hard this time around as it has in the past. usually day 1 I end up with a huge headache with the lack of sodas & sweets and snacks. Every year Im pretty good up until I go on my summer vacation then its downhill thanks to Halloween, Thanksgiving. Christmas. This year by far is my heaviest but I know I can do it I just need to work that much harder than in previous years. It helps that my place of employment has Get Fit challenges to keep us motivated and pulling surprise weigh-ins to weed out the people that wait until the last 4weeks of the challenge to drop the pounds. In the past it was usually a 3month competition amongst teams. each team consisted of 5 members. the benefits... aside from being healthier and feeling great... $2,500 for the winning team ($500 per member).
    This year it is a little different, no cash prize but we still get prizes we can redeem for by earning points AND this year the competition runs from January - April. So I planned my vacation in June so I stay motivated and lose a couple extra pounds more after the challenge.

    MFP is great. I no longer have to track my meals & exercise on excel. LOL
