Hi! I just discovered this site last night and signed up; looks like a fantastic place to be! I'm Michelle, a 42 yo married mom to a 12yo dd and a 7yo ds. Although I love taking care of my family, I am at that point in my life that I am ready to take care of ME!

I have about 30 lbs that I want to lose, although right now, I'd be thrilled with 10 LOL! Looking forward to becoming a part of this community and making new, like minded friends! :)

    Hi Michelle, Welcome to mfp:) I joined just over a month ago and love it! I'm 45 years young and I started out looking to lose at least 30 lbs. I've lost almost 9 lbs and 7.5 inches in my short time here so I've got 21 lbs more to lose. Log everything you eat, make lots of friends on here for motivation and support, do some type of exercise everyday even if it's just 15 mins of walking and drink lots and lots of water. I'd love to be your friend and help you along the way. Feel free to add me and have a super great day~

    Hey there and welcome! For anyone who doesn't already know if you have a "smart" phone, there is a really useful app that you can download (at least through the android market) for free! It makes keeping track of your calories, exercise, weight, and water intake a breeze on the go! Best wishes and good luck to you! :wink:
