Go figure, since I'm introducing myself.

My name's Jen, and I have it... the will to do this. I want to lose 118 lbs, and I'm already 10% of the way there. I lost 40 lbs from Nov-Jan, and then fell off track, so I'm in this to win it. Winning my health and freedom to do the things I've shied away from is my ultimate goal.

I find strength in seeing what others are doing, and being supportive. If you're looking for a "friend" on here... look me up! :)

Good luck to everyone!

    Hi Jen,

    Welcome to MFP! I just joined today and really love this site. I've found that counting calories really works for me in losing weight. I did it last summer and I lost weight. Unfortunately when I stopped counting calories in the Fall, I gained some of my weight back so now I'm back to watching what I eat and trying to get back on an exercise routine. This website is a great way to do this so I think you will like it a lot.

    You're definitely on the right track by having the will to do this. And congratulations on being 10% of the way there, that is awesome. You will do great!

    Wishing you the best.....Simone
