Howdy! My daughter just introduced me to this site and I am excited to be a part. :flowerforyou: I have lost 90 pounds already but still have 120 to go:ohwell: Anyway I recently retired from a very long career as an elementary school teacher (life, part 1) and am so excited to begin life, part 2. I have 4 grandkids to get fit for and surprise my doctor when he sees me in one year. :happy: Nanatbia

    Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    This is a great site. Take the time to learn about all the great features and use them.
    You will succeed if you work hard. :bigsmile:


    Take it one day at a time
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Take baby steps
    Drink lots of water :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Think of this as a new way of life, not just a temporary diet.

    It always helps me to log my food first before I eat so there are no surprises.

    Find a group to be part of and check in with them every day.

    :happy: GOOD for you. After surviving the school board for many years myself I say
    WELCOME to a new life and a new beginning.. Sound like your ready to go.
    I keep a picture of my grandchildren on the refrigerator myself.

    Good Luck
