    Hey! Awesome group.
    New member here (well, new to posting, been lurking in the shadows and off and on MFP)

    Today:
    Calorie Goal:
    Carb Goal:
    (that's been my tricky combo in the past, great on keeping it low carb but piling on the calories so not much weight down - working on balancing that out!)
    Exercise Goal:
    (Evening swim -laps- at the local YMCA - just gotta get my butt in gear and get there)
    Honest Tracking:
    Water Goal:

    We GOT this, my friends.
    Have a fantastic day!

    While I really need the focus of a challenge, I'm just back to logging today after a two month project at work that ate up my time and energy. I will tune in to what everyone is doing the first week, then set myself some goals next week after I've gotten back in the swing.

    This however, is what got me through the last two months without gaining or slipping back into bad habits.

    @jackiefrost1013, if you are adding emoticons that are not from the bar above the box you are typing in (where the happy face is), anything after the emoticon often gets dropped. >:)

    Welcome back! Congrats on the 9 pounds! :)
