Hello all!

I am joining officially as of June 1st, at 230 pounds. My goal for now is 175 pounds.

I am very happy to be here. I have been searching for a solid weight loss tool that I can use in my own way. MFP is fantastic!

I intend to be not only a user, but a contributor as well. I spent last night familiarizing myself with everything and how it all works. I am blown away!

I retroactively put in what I ate yesterday. I am a little red-faced to tell you that I exceeded my goal calories by 1,072! Of course, I didn't know I would find this tool yesterday. And, isn't that what it's about? Finding out what bad choices we make and how to make better ones.

SO - today starts my journey. I have read so many success stories, and look forward to having my own to tell.

Thanks to everyone for being my inspiration to change my life!

    YAAAAAYYYY !!! SO glad you're here !!! I just started this site last week and am absolutely amazed at the never-ending support and positive atmosphere this site has. GOOD LUCK !!! I'm with you... I have 120 lbs to lose. 10 lbs gone so far, lots more to go, but with the tools and support we have on this site, I have no doubt that I (we!) can do it !!!
