Strength in Numbers

Options
Hi Everyone! An obvious statement, but I'm new here. I'm 29 years old, 5'6" and 230 lbs. I am at a point in my life where I need to take control and not let the weight and food issues dominate my life. They say there is strength in numbers, so if anyone wants to keep in touch, we can do this together. I'm ready, I'm motivated, and armed with a positive attitude.

    Hi Raz,
    I just started here this week. Would love to be "friends" with you here on MFP. I feel the same as you do......definitely need to make some changes and get this weight issue dealt with and move on.

    Hi Razberrysweetea! (great name!)

    I started on 22nd Jan and have lost 7lbs. I'm mostly motivated but do lose it sometimes and my downfall is mostly wine!!! I try and exercise lots and drinking lots of water helps. Good luck with your journey, you can do it!!!
