in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

My name is Donna and I have about 150 pounds to lose. My husband and I are going on a cruise for our 30th anniversary this October and I want to be fit enough to take an excursion into the rainforest. We have both joined MFP and are starting this journey together. We started the South Beach Diet in November and I have lost 20 pounds (even with the holidays). I am starting to exercise more (joined a gym) and am starting to get some energy back.

I know it is going to take a while to reach my goal, but every journey starts with a single step.

    Well done on your weight loss so far. I have only just joined MFP and have found it such a great site for support and motivation and its a great tool keeping track. I have about 40-50lbs to lose and I started just before xmas. Im sure we can all support and motivate along the way. x

    have you got a goal or something to look forward to? Thats a great motivater...or go and buy an outfit a size too small and see if that motivates you. I brought a trouser suit before xmas ready for my uni interviews in a weeks time, and I think I will be wearing it. :)
