Reintroductions.

Hello everyone. My name is Sarah.
I've been on again off again with MFP over the last few years. Although I'm joining the crew of the New Year's Rush, I've been truly trying to make good changes to my diet and lifestyle.
I had knee surgery a year ago, and I would love to be more active...I just need to get some weight off to make it easier and more comfortable to do so.
I have a lot of weight to lose. Right now my target weight would put me losing around 175 pounds. It's going to be a long road. I could use all the support and friendship I can get.
My life revolves around my dogs and my fiancé. I want to make a better life for them, and for myself. It's time to get healthier.

Look forward to talking with you all.

    Same here...I've been using this for a couple of years on and off but as soon as I hit my target I let it all slide again and am soon back to square one ! This time is the first time I've used the community bit so I'm hoping everyone will keep me on track. Ideally I would love to lose 40 lbs but would be happy with 30 ! I know it's not a huge amount to achieve but I have absolutely no will power and really hate exercising so to me it's a pretty massive mountain to climb. I had pretty major surgery last year but whilst I could have got back on track months ago I just found every excuse not to :/ I'm determined this time to stop making excuses....get some will power....and stick to my plan. All help will be much appreciated !!!

    I'm starting all over again too.... not quite as far as before... but close enough. I have a lot to accomplish this year, and this extra weight just makes it harder. I need to lose about 75-80 pounds. So it's a long road.
