in Introduce Yourself
Helloo all,

Today is DAY 1---- I have to do this, I have to stick to it!!! I need lots of encouragement so please keep the comments coming!!!

I weight 172 lbs and I would like to lose 32 lbs... Last summer I was 20lbs lighter :( ..It is depressing!!!!

I am looking forward to meeting new people and being able to do this "together" also hoping to change my eating habits and get back to working out every day!!! This is a big change and I need to focus on fitting into a beautiful dress for my engagement party that is 52 days away!!!!

Wish me luck!!!!! :wink:

    Welcome! I stumbled on MFP purely by accident while searching for apps on my ipod one night. I am SO glad I did. I have discovered a lot about food and exercise and realized that I was going about it all wrong when I was only eating once a day last summer and working my butt off. I had no idea about eating your exercise calories and eating in general. I just assumed if I worked out and ate less, I would lose weight. MFP has been an eye opener for me! (and a great weight loss app)

    Welcome! I wish you all the best. As for the goal of working out every day, I'd take it easy to begin with. 5 days a week is a good thing to work up to. Maybe on the 'off' days do something lighter like a walk, but not heavy cardio, or weights every day - its too much. Good luck!

    You have come to the right place. I have been in weight watchers a couple of times over the past five years, spent too much money and never did reach my goal. MFP is simple and if you have a smart phone, it is always with you.
    I have followed the guidelines here and have lost close to 22 of the 35 pounds I wanted to take off just by logging and incorporating moderate exercize into my routine. Feel free to friend me.
