in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I just started to day, I am a female 29 years old and I weigh in at 219, to add injury to insult I am merely five feet tall. I am hoping to make some friend so please don't be shy, I can honestly say I need all the help I can get. I have a beautiful little girl, a wonderful husband and I am ready to loose weight and be healthy and happy.

    Welcome to MFP!! I am the same height as you and when I joined MFP I was around the same weight.
    I have found MFP very useful as well as an eye opener.
    Feel free to add me.

    It's a journey. Don't rush it. Make small changes you can stick with. Log on everyday even if you are bad. It really helps to see it in black and white. Educate yourself on healthy eating, not fad dieting. Find healthier lower calorie substitutions for the things you love. Check on line for low calorie recipes. Go to the market and spend some time looking at lables. Make it a hobby with a real benefit, thats what I did. Some people scrapbook, this could be yours. Get yourself a food scale it really helps. Good luck. :flowerforyou:
