Hello FitnessPals!

I learned about this site from my cousin, she speaks very highly of you all and I figured it was worth the shot. Today is my first day on here and I spent most of it inputting my foods into my food tracker, taking my measurements and stepping on that dreaded scale.

There are many things in life that have prompted me to want to get back in shape but the most recent was stepping on the scale at the surgeons office, getting ready for my second round of injections for severe lower back pain. The scale read a very scary 146 pounds. 146 POUNDS?!?! Yup...those pictures weren't lying, warped or out of focus...I have put on 25 pounds in less than 5 years.

So naturally, after I recuperated from the recent injections I stripped down in the bathroom and took a good hard look at myself. My husband is always telling me how "hawt" I am and how he loves the way I look. 5 years ago I had no problem believing that but recently....I call bull...

So, the jig is up belly jiggle...I'm on the offensive and you are going down!

I look forward to interacting with everyone on here, having a support group will be a great motivational tool I'm sure!
