ready, set lose!

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting anything about myself here. I have been using MFP for awhile now and have actually logged ALL my food for the past 40+ days...the good the bad and the ugly. Today I am starting on a new journey towards having a healthy lifestyle and maintaining it. I am from North West Ohio and with the weather starting to get Springy and the thoughts of vacation in July I am determined to make a huge change in my life with or without my husbands support.

From what I have seen from friends, the more people that you share your goals with the more accountability you have so here goes. By July 4th I will:
lose 30 pounds
be able to walk a 5k in under 40 minutes
name and complete 12 mini projects around the house that have needed to be done for....months if not years.

This officially begins on Tuesday, April 5th as part of my works Biggest Loser program but I decided to get a head start today.

Wish me luck!

    You know I'm here for you! ;) There is a lot of support on this site to vent your frustrations and encourage you to do what needs to be done!!
    I have the same sort of issues when it comes to my husband. Mine "supports" me, however he doesn't join in (and he needs to!!).

    Despite being in a very healthy & life-style changing house hold right now, Im not supported in HOW im changin gmy lifestyle/eating habits. My sister eats Clean (so clean she's boring) my parents eat gluten free. Im not fond of all of the gluten free products and frankly I love my sugar too much to eat clean! But I have made alot of Healthy changes and thats what fits me. You will find plenty of great supportive people on here even if the ones at home arent that supportive
