in Introduce Yourself
Signed on a few weeks ago but failed to have a good luck round. Have been very unmotivated just recently. But have now had a look around and am ready to go for it.
I'm 40 yrs old with 4 children 12, 11, 4 and 20 months. Have given up smoking (7mths) seem to have replaced them with anything I can get my hands on. Taught myself to run (couldn't do it at school!!) completed race for Life 5km, but have over 30lbs to shift.
My goal is to fully utilise this great site and to return to tihe gym on Monday and take it one day at a time instead of trying to have lost all the weight in the first week (have been yoyoing for 24 yrs - should really know better!!)

    Hi back at you from the one freakish part of California that is almost always cold and wet!

    Glad you joined MFP. And it sounds like you have a good plan and great attitude - one day at a time; the patient, persistent plan! I only joined about a month before you and have managed to get a few of those pounds off I wanted. It is working, but some days are harder than others. And I'm starting to think "friends are fattening", because the days I go over on calories are always the ones when we "go out for a bite".

    At least your MFP friends aren't fattening! We're all there for you. Best wishes!
