Hi All!!

I have been on MFP on and off for about a year. But I am renewing my commitment to getting healthy and staying healthy and I think that some freinds and encouragement is just what I need to make it happen this time. Please feel free to add me!!

Thanks,

    Friend me!!!! I have some plans I give to all my new friends!! :flowerforyou:
  • What I find best is this website (great for tracking your food and exercise and definitely one of the best on the internet!), a good circle of friends who will share the joy of you being healthy, and some inspiration. Why do YOU want to lose weight and be healthy? For me, it's for my future family. I'm married and my husband and I are planning for four children. Firstly, it's hard to conceive when a person is obese, like I am, and then there might be complications from not being healthy. After that, I'd need to hold, carry, cradle, rock, burp, feed and all kinds of things to a baby that will grow heavier and heavier as it grows older. Then, it starts to walk and I'll need to chase it. Then it wants to play. I never want to tell my children that I am too tired to play with them or that their mommy has heart problems at 30 because she didn't take care of herself in her youth. I don't want my children to experience what I'm going through with my dad, who is blind because of his diabetes and he has a weakened heart because of triple-bypass surgery... and he's not even 60 yet. :(

    Smaller clothes also cost less. Less food costs less. So losing weight and eating less is better on the pocketbook as well. :)
