I have the Welcome Back Kotter theme song in my head

Hi everyone!

I joined MFP almost two years ago and let it go by the wayside after a few weeks... it was working, but I was LAZY and didn't keep my journal and all that gear.

Since that time, I've had a heap of life changes, new job, new house, new state (moved from Queensland to Tasmania) but one thing has stayed the same - my dissatisfaction with my weight.

As I'm getting older, it's affecting my health. Starting roller derby training this year in an effort to meet people and have fun in my new surrounds I have a new motivation to get fit, healthy and STRONG.

So, I'm back... *clap* and I'm determined to see this through. I have set my short, mid and long term goals. I work out at home in the mornings and hit the gym after work. I'm going to admit when I misstep, I'm going to make myself accountable by not making this a secret, I WILL look and feel amazing.

Happy to be friends with anyone on here as I can already tell from the posts I have read and contributed to that the encouragement from people across the globe who are going through the same things is an integral part of the success of MFP and those who sail in her.

:) Shan
