in Introduce Yourself
HI there,

I'm Fiona and I live in Alberta Canada. I joined MFP the latter part of January and I've already lost 19lbs just by tracking my calories and changing the way I rethink portions. My eventual goal is to lose a total of 100lbs and then see I how I look at 177 and either just maintain that weight or lose a bit more.


:)

    Stella,

    Thanks for the welcome. i think at this moment the weight loss is mostly excess water or a flush. I'm not really working out because its still too cold up here and I dont belong to a gym...I think the real work will be soon though:)

    Good for you, and well done.... I've only managed 9 lbs since the start of January! ... and 6 of them I lost over the last couple weeks! So go you! Great on keeping up a steady loss.

    Good luck on the rest of your 'Journey'... You can do it. :o)

    I think this is mostly a water/fluid flush, I think the real work will begin shortly. I'm still trying to find that perfect meal balance doing on my own (no weight watchers or diet books)

    I just cant wait for the weather up here to warm up so I can get outside and start walking. I'm pretty clumsy walking on snow/ice..lol

    Thanks:) Actually my parentals had given me another name at birth instead of naming me after one of my cool Irish grannie. So back in 96 I changed it to Fiona to honour her memory:)

    Welcome and congrats on the 19lbs! That is a great accomplishment!

    I am totally with you on the clumsy bit. I can't wait for it to warm up and dry up. Knowing me I'll end up falling in a puddle in the spring!
