in Introduce Yourself
I am beginning today. The weight loss journey. I weighed at 1am. Woke right up and thought, I cannot hide from that scale anymore. Wow. was it a shock. I think it is easy to convince myself that this isnt real. but the scale was a wake up call. And today I am answering. I just turned 50. And with my high BP and high cholesterol.....this is setting off alarms in my head. I work form home, which makes the kitchen trips super easy....so, now. making exercise and better food choices a priority is my challenge!!!!!

    This is a great first choice. Ive done this before but Ive found that using my cals. for whole foods rather than anything processed kept me full and kept the weight falling off. Best of luck.

    I can completely relate. I had the same kind of wake up call a few months ago and I'm so glad I got on track with MFP. Good luck as you start this journey!
