I am new, but in desperate need of losing weight. I just had a reality check when I looked down at my puffy ankles. I have been struggling with my weight for about ten years and it is time to make a change. I am hoping that MFP will be the tool that I have some success with. Wish me luck.

    Started out Sept 13 with 153 to lose. Down 22 lbs. I definitely suggest minimum 64 oz water DAILY!!! And 1500 - 2000 mg sodium intake!!! I had the same problem with swollen ankles. My mom even noticed a couple weeks ago that mine are not swelling. Add me if you would like!

    I agree...when you think of losing high amounts of weight...it is overwhelming! My OMG moment was when I was tired for no reason ALL the time...drinking water is the key....People make is so complicated...the key is drink water, move more..eat less!:smile: Add me also if you like~

    One day at a time. You'll get there. Please consider taking pics and measurements so you have other feedback options besides that darn scale.

    MFP is a great tool. Without it and my pals, I wouldn't be where I am. Welcome.
