in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I thought I would check this out as suggested by my new wellness coach through my insurance. I have used other sites before and I am interested in seeing how this one works.

I will be 56 next month, I work at a desk job, mother of 4 and grandmother of 10 and have been newly married for a little over two years.

Looking forward to a new start.

:smile:

    congrats on making the step! Feel free to add me as a friend. I just started a few days ago. I have lost 30 pounds since September, but just starting on MFP to help me be more accountable. I am on each day, tracking away. I am 56 also, and have a desk job.

    Welcome to the site - 56 here but I have a very active job, only difference. Add me as a friend if you like, been here since December, lost 7 lbs before joining 22 since joining. I love this place and my MFP family. (Well except for some of the forums, I should just not read any but the Introduce Yourself one, lol.

    Hi! This is a great site to help keep you motivated. I joined after a friend told me that she lost 20 pounds using this site to stay accountable. Feel free to add me as a friend as I understand the need for motivation and try to pass that on to my friends.

    Welcome! Also, I found that its better to input higher calories when you are not sure about the product you are consuming rather then underestimate it.
