in Introduce Yourself
My niece told me about this site....I have35 kilos to lose which is.77lbs.... it sounds terrible in pounds.I can only describe myself as a procrastinating emotional binge eater.I am a cancer survivor my weight really got out of hand during my illness, and i thought people with cancer were meant to get all skinny and frail...sigh.I am doing this because at 51 i am tired of being overweight and gof willing i have another 30 or so years to live and i want them to be good years.

    You can do it if you keep telling yourself you can! It is very challenging at times but with persistency and a good network of MFP friends you can get through it. I had lost 70 lbs but have put half of it back on over the years. I am eating healthy as much as possible and exercising but life gets in the way sometimes. As an emotional eater myself, you have to keep in mind that this journey is for life, it's not a race since there is no finish line. Once you get to goal, you have to work hard at keeping it off!

    So clean out your kitchen of any foods you cannot keep away from, shop for lots of fresh fruits and veggies and get a good pair of walking/runnin shoes! And keep your MFP friends!

    Good luck!
