edited September 26 in Introduce Yourself
My wife basically served me with a one on one intervention about my weight and overall health last night that led to some hurt feelings on my part, but something that is a longtime in the making. I hope to use this message board for supplemental support and advice.

    my best piece of advice is to pick up a copy of "burn the fat feed the muscle" it is hands down the best means of shedding fat and making you a healthier you. It is a no BS, honest and straight to the point book about fat loss and making it a life long deal, not a temporary fix.

    I too joined recently. And yes, sometimes it takes harsh words from those we love to get us going. But, now you're here and I can promise you'll get all sorts of support, tips, motivation and friendship from MFP :) Friend me if you wish! :-)

    :smile: My husband and I joined a while back, but I have not devoted myself to logging in and doing what is necessary to being successful. Today is the day I start over. I am tracking every bite that goes into my mouth! For a while, that will be what it takes for me. In the not-so-long run, it will be worth it!

    She's right for calling you out! Don't take offense to it, take it as an act of love and take an honest look at yourself. You can do this and it will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make!

    Welcome to MFP...you will love it here (I hope) I credit MFP with alot of my weight loss so far. At least you should get loads of support from your wife since she is encouraging you to lose weight!
    Good luck!!!
