Ready to Lose! New to MFP

I started MFP just yesterday and have already found it to be a useful tool. I have already started to gain momentum as well as support. I have been heavy my whole life and want to change that. I am a 39 years old wife and mother from Newark, Ohio. I want to be healthier. I feel as though the more support and friends we have, the better our momentum will get. Sharing successes and struggles with each other shows that we are not in this battle alone! In addition, having others see our progress also encourages us to work toward our goals. I have always been one who has strived to be successful in every area of my life - good job, great family, but have struggled in the area of weight. I could list a million reasons why I have not lost weight, but looking back, I think I just didn't want it bad enough - that has changed now and becoming a healthier person is my #1 goal! If you would like to be a part of my support and allow me to provide support to you as well, send me a friend request. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey and becoming a healthier you!
