Let's stay focus together!

Hello! I'm a 42 year old mom of two. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am trying to lose between 80-90 pounds. I lost about 60 pounds about 10 years ago using a weight loss program. Unfortunately when I stopped, it all came back on, plus some. For a while, I just decided that being overweight was just who I was and that was acceptable. But lately, I've been re-thinking this. My father is extremely overweight and has been steadily declining in health, mainly due to his Type 2 diabetes. I follow my father in most physical aspects. I do not want to go down the same path! So, after hearing about the MFP app from a good friend and seeing the results she is having (down almost 40 pounds!), I decided to give it a try. I have my daily calorie goal, and am eating so much healthier without relying on a "program". My go-to website is Skinnytaste.com. I absolutely LOVE it!!!! Even my picky 7-year old likes the recipes I have made so far. I am also exercising 4-5 days per week, for 45-60 minutes. Zumba is my favorite! I have been logging my food and exercise since May 20, and so far I have lost 11.4 pounds. Just a drop in the bucket, but definitely on the right path. I also am setting little rewards for myself for every 10 that I lose. I am getting a pedicure for my first 10...still deciding on my next 10... This is definitely a choice you have to make and have the mindset to see it through.
