It actually works!

I am new to MFP and have been learning how to use the system. I think the biggest surprise has been that it actually works. I am 35 years old and a working mom of 2 kids. I have always been pretty active and athletic, but the scale has been moving up since college. Having 2 kids just gave the increase a boost. I am focused on making adjustments that are not heroic or earth shattering. Just simple things that make a difference each day, and that I know I can carry on forever. I love reading the posts, but have not participated until today. Thanks for making this a great experience thus far.
