Hi! My name is Melanie, I am 28 and a SAHM. This is my first time using MFP and counting calories. I am going to lose around 30lbs total and have lost 4lbs already!
I am blessed to have amazing friends/neighbors who walk with me every night.

    I park 3.5 KMS from my work and walk in everyday.. I listen to a morning radio show in the morning and I listen to my recorded music on my way home.. makes me feel like I am not alone!!
