in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I just signed up for MFP and am super excited to starting getting this weight loss train out of the station. I've been overweight for a while and I just want to get back to my ideal weight. I just had my baby in early Feb so I have a lot of "extra" left to get rid of. I really want to do this not so that my family has something of a positive influence in terms of living a healthier lifestyle. I am restarting Power 90 today and I'm also thinking of starting the Couch to 5K program.

    Feel free to add me! My baby is 1, but I'm still working on that blasted pregnancy weight, but I have more to lose after I reach that point.

    Hello and welcome, this is a wonderful site, with wonderful people. I have lost 51 pounds with the help of MFP. You can do it, just keep your head up and remember why you started this if you ever what to give up. Its a struggle sometimes to change your lifestyle, or to find the time with a family, I have four children so I know all about precious time, but it is all worth it in the end. Again good luck and congrats on your new bundle :)
