Finally Going to Introduce Myself....

I have been using the app on my phone for awhile off and on then decided at the end of March to log onto the website. I've become addicted to some degree. I have a few friends on here already but am always looking to increase my numbers. I figure the more support and success stories I read the more motivated I stay.

I originally stumbled onto the MFP when I got my iPhone and downloaded the app. My intent was to track my meals more than anything because of heart issues that run in my family. I myself had a stent put in a year and half ago. You wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you though. I just happen to have a family history of heart problems. Luckily it was exercise that led me to the doctor for a diagnosis. I personally don't dislike the way I look but figure I can always improve. As life goes after having children I was a little heavier initially than I would prefer and my clothes over the years have become a little snug. So, here I am tracking my exercise and diet and meeting some pretty cool people that are here to do the same thing. I started out at 196 or 195 and I'm down to 183. Ultimately I want to drop 45 so that when I go on vacation next year to take my girls to Disney I can look great in a bathing suit and turn a few heads. I'm young enough I still want to party a little and looking good makes my whole self feel good. I want to accomplish that by toning up in all the right places through exercise in particular.

Wish me success and friend me if you have the time.
