Hi! I'm new here!

I'm new and just started using this site. I actually really like it. I haven't been good about watching what I've eaten and after having four boys and gaining a "little" weight during every pregnancy, I've now got a problem. I'm really hoping that over the course of using this site I can lose the 120 pounds I need to lose. It would be nice to be cheered on, especially when there are days I'm sure that I'll just want to go back to my old habits. Easy fix food and fast food places in town are my downfall, and I'm making a concentrated effort to stay away from them. I know there isn't a quick fix to weight gain, but I'm in for the long haul and know that this will probably take me one to two years to reach my goal weight of 150 lbs. Thanks for your support!

    Welcome! I love MFP and was using the app long before I started using the forum and actual site. The app alone is amazing but to have access to both makes MFP the best weightloss tool out there! :)
