in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. I woke up this morning and decided that I don't want to be an overweight 46 year old anymore who is constantly in a bad mood. So - I got on the elliptical for 30 minutes and joined myfitnesspal. I am also going to start taking a pilates class one evening a week. Looking forward to getting to know others in the same boat I am in.

As I said, I am 46 years old. I have a wondeful husband and three beautiful daughters, 18 (graduating from high school this year), 15 (my dancer who would live at the studio if I let her) and an 11 year old (likes to try everything). They keep me busy, but I have decided that this year is my year and that I am going to take time to take care of myself.

    Welcome! I have found this site extremely useful for tracking my food intake. It was very eye opening to see how horrible my eating habits were. My only advice to you is to not go crazy with your goals. You did not gain weight overnight so you are not going to lose weight overnight. Best of luck to you on your journey!
