Hello All!
I've been using MFP on and off for about 8 months and its been mostly from my phone. This is the first time I've been on the message boards. I haven't been on any message boards for a long time. I'm a mother of 4 and they have always been my motivation but I slip up. They are awesome cheerleaders and encourage me. Anyways I am just saying hello and am looking forward to making some new friends and get some much needed support.

    This week is my first week of MFP. I am 43 years old, mother of 2 girls 10 years apart. Friends and family my age are beginning blood pressure, cholesterol, and pre-diabetes medications. I am really trying to get a grip on my sugar intake and portion control. MFP is showing me I lean on fruit more than vegetables. This has been a great help for me this week.

    I am also new here. I read about this site (and app) on another message board I am on. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I have a very small frame (only 5ft!) so 5lbs looks like 15lbs on me. I recently went to the dr and for the first time my blood pressure was high and my dr mentioned life style changes are the first step. I am only 20 days away from turning 26. I will NOT let this be the future of my life. I have a horse who I ride regularly and teach lessons on the weekend. I have a 8 year old pembroke welsh corgi who is the cutest little thing. I am fortunate enough to have a boyfriend I have been with for 8 years who has also decided to make life style changes and is the biggest supporter for me. Every small victory is a big deal :)

    My motivational words: "A body in motion stays in motion" SO GET MOVING :)
