Hello All!!!!

I'm new to MFP and I have heard nothing but positive things. This morning I woke up, looked in the mirror and cried! I am not happy with what I saw and I decided that instead of crying all the time I need to make a change. March 2010 I weighed 200 pounds. Today I weigh 240 and I am only 5'2"! I have to get thi weight off of me. I ordered the Zumba body transformation set an I really like it. It's fun, makes me sweat and I don't feel like I'm exercising. I did it for one week straight abd I have not done it in the past week. So now I am striving for at least 6 times per week. I really hope I start seeing results because I get frustrated and give up. I am going to order me a new scale because the one I have absolutely sucks and doesn't give an accurate reading. I've done my research and I've found the one that has the beat reviews. well....let the journey begin! :)

    I haven't done the Zumba body transformation set, but I have it for the Wii, and I love it!! I sent you a friend request. And I hear you on the scale...I really want a scale! All I have is my Wii Fit, which isn't always accurate, since half of the time, the balance board doesn't work at all. :tongue:

    Thanks Everyone! Just reading everyones success stories has inspired me. To see all the weight you guys have lost will definitely help me stay motivated. Gaining this weight has totally took a hit on my self esteem. And for a newlywed, that is not good! I'm staying positive and now that I have joined MFP I know this time my weight loss journey will be less stressful and frustrating!
