in Introduce Yourself
Good Morning, I'm new to MFP and I can't believe how I've let myself go. I I know I'll never be 120 lbs again, but I let myself gain 80 lbs in 21 years since I got married. I'm 44 and the time has come to get serious. I joined TOPS ( a weight loss support group like WW) 3 weeks ago and the first week I lost 5.4 lbs. Last week- 0. i was so disappointed! I also didn't gain any, but it made me realize that I have to make time for exercise. I love that I can track all my food, and it tells me how much longer it's going to take to reach the goal I set for myself. I think 155 lbs is attainable for me, but my doctor set my goal at 165. Whatever. Just a number. I'll get to whatever I can do as long as I'm healthy. Tonight is weigh-in again at TOPS so wish me luck. I'm hoping for at least 1 -2 lbs. Going for a walk right now. We also have started a "Biggest Loser" contest at my work, so for the first time in my life, I'm hoping to be a big loser! :) Here we go...getting serious
