Hi, it's just me

Welcome Kelly. You don't need a scale to be prepared, just a legitimate desire to work towards your goals. If you intend to get a scale I HIGHLY recommend it be a food scale so you can weight what you eat. Weighing yourself is often disappointing and doesn't accurately reflect the strides you make. My weight goes up and down all the time, but my belt size is continuing to get smaller and I look better and better in my clothes. That's WAY more important to me than the number on a scale. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

Yep, that's my big thing is I want to see results right away. I can definitely see a difference in how my body looks, although 3lbs doesn't seem like much. What kind of workout regime do you plan on doing?

Hey Kelly. I understand about oblivious. In my family, we show affection and sympathy with food. So you can see my dilemma. I have explained repeatedly that I appreciate their love, but I have no self control if it's in the house so please don't bring it in, but let us have one little argument, or me get just a little moody, and ... chocolate? Cookies? Here, have some chips. I love them, but it can be so frustrating. They also want to lose weight but are not committed to it, and I'm afraid I'm getting that way. I want to lose weight so bad but the heavier I get the more tired I feel and the less I seem to want to try anything and so the heavier I get and the more tired I get. Which is why I'm trying this app again. I'm praying I find some good friends who can motivate me to get my sorry tail in gear. Honestly, I'm feeling more hopeful about this endeavor than I've felt in a long while. I'm going to try and give it my all. Hoping we can become friends but don't know how to save you or if I will be able to find you again, so if you are more tech savvy than me, feel free to say hello often. Your going to make it to your goal and hopefully, as your family sees your accomplishments, they will climb on board this ride with you. Hugs Kelly. Best of luck.

I fell down the wagom last year after loosing 34 pounds. Gain everything +7 pound. Almost had an heart attack when I saw that on the scale Sunday. It was the shock I needed. I have decided to use MFP this time around (last time use mfp and nutritionist). You van add me as a friend if you want

Kitchen scale and mesuring cup and spoon.

Kelly - YouTube has a series of videos call Yoga with Adrienne that you could also do. Don't really need any special equipment for that, though a mat does help. I'm pretty damn inflexible and I do those videos to the best of my ability. I am getting better at them and was thrilled when I finally got my feet flat on the floor doing a Downward Dog. Anyone who's done yoga will understand.
