in Introduce Yourself
New here, but sadly not new to the battle of the bulge. At my heaviest I was 325, and at my lightest 168 (after 11 months of really hard work and healthy eating habits)...I know...you're probably thinking you lost 157 pounds and then put it back??? Yep, I did. I woke up on the 1st of February and weighed in at 299. Wasn't happy about it either. So, I've decided that enough is enough and I am going to take back my life and get this weight under control.
I've been working hard at it since the 1st and look forward to my weigh in tomorrow. Last sunday I was 286...and I am hoping for some results this week too cause I have been a very very good girl!
Hope to get to know you all,
We can do this...
but support is KEY...and from what I've seen on this site...it's AWESOME!
Have a great day...
Bobbi

    Hi Sapphire, welcome!
    I don't blame you for being excited and saying what an awesome site MFP is, because, it REALLY IS!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
