Hey everyone! My name is Staci and I'm very excited to join the group! My starting weight is 178. I guess I'll have to get out my fitness watch to track steps and sleep again. I absolutely love learning about health and fitness. My daughter is #2 currently on her team for track which just started and was #4 for the state in cross country last fall so I'll be trying to get out to run with her so it will be good for us both. Anywho, will talk to you all soon!6

Thank you for the warm welcome, Megan. This is my first time in this group, I signed up for the challenge beginning in May, which I guess begins this Sunday.
My name is Tammy and I live in Wisconsin. I'm 58 (how did THAT happen?) and I'm a marketer with a local university. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you while we support one another on this journey. I'm not new to MFP, I'm more of a serial starter-and-quitter. I'm determined to lose weight, gain strength, muscle tone, and flexibility and be healthier overall before I reach my 60th birthday in a little over a year and a half. I know slow and steady wins the race in the long run, so I'm willing to give myself the time it takes to be successful and maintain my new, healthier habits.
I was a longtime WW member (also lots of starts, stops, restarts, stops, etc), but gave it up a couple of years ago when they made more changes to their program and I wasn't seeing the success I hoped for. Over the past 30 years, I've given them enough money that I should already own the company, LOL. I'm currently following a WW-like food plan but using MFP to track. I'm working on getting better at meal planning and prep on the weekends for the coming week. I still work full-time, so heat-and-eat at mealtime works best for me.
Consistent activity is a challenge for me. I am currently working with a trainer once a week for weight lifting, but I have a hard time getting up off my rear to do other activity throughout the week. My goal is to exercise at least 2-3 additional days per week (yoga, another day at the gym, or walking outside once it reaches 50 degrees or more). I have a Fitbit that connects to my MFP account to track my steps. I'm already signed up for my first 5K of the year this coming Saturday, so I'm hoping that will make for a happy weigh-in on Monday morning.
Let's do this!8 -

I almost forgot: I had my weekly injections yesterday. The pain specialist is thrilled with my weight loss. He thinks it will make a big difference with my leg/back pain. Tomorrow I have my rheumatologist appointment and I am excited to see what she says. I have 20 pounds gone since my last appointment.
