in Introduce Yourself
Hello
My name is Sandy. I am here to loss 100+ lbs. I have tried many different ways to lose weight and failed. I have a Y membership but am to embarrassed to take advantage of it. I have been stalking around MFP ( lol ):blushing: for the last week trying to get the courage to join. Well I finally did! I was terrified of opening myself up to others and facing how bad I have let myself go. I am Ready to take back My Life!! I want to be the bubbly, fun, full of life person I use to be. I no longer want to be the embarrassed, shy, closed off to everyone person I have become. I hope that being on MFP will be the answer I have been looking for. I am tired of my weight defining who I am. :flowerforyou:
Sandy

    Hello Sandy,

    I myself have been part of two other diet programs and frankly I don't have time to go to the meetings but still want the encouragement. I have been on this program for about six weeks and I have seen results. I log EVERYTHING in even when I have had an extra piece of cake or too much wonderful cheese. I wanted to be accountable for my actions. It really has helped me look at food differently and make some decent food decisions. The people on here really are supportive. I wish you the best of luck. Be patient and honest wtih yourself and sooner you will see results. I wanted to lose 40 pounds but I have divided my goals. I am now eight pounds away from my first goal.

    If you would like a friend, you are welcome to add me.

    Hi Sandy,

    First off "Welcome" :) I'm in the same boat as you wanting to loose weight. I've been going up and down with my weight. I loose some, then I slack off and gain it all back. I'm sick of doing this roller coaster ride!!

When I started my committment to get rid of this excess, I noticed a personality change actually. Good luck to you. We cando this...that is my new mantra...Congrats for taking the first step.:::flowerforyou:
