No fear!

A few months ago I "woke" up to the idea that I was no longer young. I was only wearing baggy clothes and dreaded going anywhere. My knees and back hurt. I could not face weighing myself.
I thought I was too old to be able to lose weight but I decided to try. I wanted my Granson to be able to know me as vital and not infirm.
I made up a diet and exersize plan. I had a pair of jeans I would try on every morning (instead of weighing) I started to feel better. I finally weighed myself an WOLA! I can lose at my age!
BUT I was getting upset and afraid to eat. I looked in the app store and found MFP. Love Love Love it. I can eat and work out and just journal it. No fear!
So gald to be here with you all- we can do this!
