but now it sucks going shopping and I feel like the old frumpy lady stuck in a 31-year-olds body.

I stumbled upon this site just today and am so impressed. I've been at the eating better (less) and exercising for about a week now and have dropped 5 pounds but need the tracking to keep me on target. My goal is to lose 23 more pounds. More would be awesome but for now 23 is my challenge.

Loving this place so far!

    Lol, it was fun, wasn't it? I have to keep reminding myself how much fun it WASN'T when I was hauling my big butt around, getting out of breath when I did anything strenuous, and looking at all the clothes in my closet that i no longer fit into. That's what keeps me going because honestly, I'd love nothing more than to hit a drive-thru on the way home from work and then top that off with a pizza delivery tonight. I'm not one of those people who loses the urge to eat bad foods once I start feeling healthier. I just keep reminding myself that I'd rather feel great long-term than have the temporary satisfaction of pigging out on chicken nuggets and fries.

    Welcome to MFP, I wish you all the best! I think it's amazing what a difference the support and accountability make.
