Turning 40 Time for a Change

Options
HI Everyone. Just recently joined MFP. I am turning 40 at the end of the year and really want to make some changes in my life. My goal is to lose 100+ . I really want to have more self confidence and be more out going. I have an amazing man in my life that loves me for me but I know we could have a much fuller life together if I had more energy.

I am writing this message as a step to hold myself accountable. I am hoping to meet new friends and help motivated each other. Oh and just a warning ..I am a terrible speller so sorry in advance. lol

    You are making the right choice! There are so many supportive members here that will encourage you with positive reinforcement daily!. Log every BLT(bite, lick and taste) that goes in your mouth and walk. The weight will come off. Even better if you can do a little more exercise. Variety and volume as far as food goes helps and keeping your protein level up! Good Luck!
