Hi I am a 51 year old grandmother of 3 and I have 2 children. One who is 2 years old that I recently adopted. I want to be able to go out and play with him without having to rest because I can't breath. I started losing weight in January with a fast that my church went on and I lost 10 pounds. I then joined the pound for pound challenge on the biggest loser and it ends tomorrow I have lost about 10 to 15 lbs there. I don't want my weight lose to end too so I joined this site. I have read some of the previous post and I know that I will get the encouragement here to help me reach my goal. I can say that I am able to fit into some shorts that I could not wear 2 summers ago. My next goal clothes are a pair of pants I bought a few sizes smaller than what I normally wear. This does help you work towards your goal also.

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Sounds like you've done great on your own, but, you are soooo going to love it here! I can't say enough good about MFP! :happy: It REALLY, REALLY works! :love:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
