in Introduce Yourself
hi there!

I'm Jessica. I'm 33 y/o and the mother to an adorable 9 1/2 mo old. I have been an off/on member of ww for several years, but in the Fall of 2009 I got really serious and the lbs starting melting off. 51lbs later came a positive pregnancy test and my focus shifted elsewhere. My husband and i were very excited about the arrival of our first child, but since then we haven't taken care of ourselves like we should. Now we are starting over and I have a long ways to go before I hit my goal weight.

I decided to try MFP because I have learned that if I track what I eat I do so much better. Today is day 15 for me and I've lost 10lbs. I'm eating well, staying under my calories, watching my sodium/sugar/fat/fiber intake, drinking lots of water, and getting active. I had my wisdom teeth cut out this past week so eating has been a challenge for a few days, but I've managed to still track everyday and stay on point with my caloric intake.

I've been lurking the boards for a few weeks and love the discussions. I thought it was only fair to introduce myself :) I look forward to chatting with you all via the discussion boards!

    Hi Jessica!

    Welcome abroad. I too just rejoined MFP. Congrats on your new baby and losing 10lbs. I agree that tracking food and excercise truly do make a difference. When you see what you are doing or not doing for that matter, you get convicted to step it up or cut back. You are on your way. Keep up the great work!

    Melissa
