Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I just signed up on MFP just a week ago and am enjoying the learning process. What I thought was healthy eating wasn't quit as healthy as I thought. I have been on a self improvement kick for about the last couple of years. First it was lasic eye surgery, then in March of this year I quit a 28 year smoking habit. Now it is on to the weight loss. I have found at age 43 that loosing weight isn't as easy as it used to be. But I am determined to succeed. My plan is to loose 50 pounds. Would love to wear a bikini to the beach in Hawaii next summer!

Would love to hear from some of you wonderful people, have really enjoyed reading the successes posted on here!

    Hi. Welcome to MFP. :smile:

    I've thought a lot about Lasik eye surgery, but the idea scares the heck out of me. Were you 100% happy with your results?

    I love waking up in the morning and being able to see! It was one of the best things I ever did for myself! It was scary and a little spendy, but SO worth it!

    Welcome! Congratulations on kicking your smoking habit and deciding to improve your life! I noticed we weigh about the same and have similar goals... I would like to be about 155 by next year on my birthday (which is a year and 1 month from today). I'm planning on getting married next September on the 25, and we're going to Hawaii for our honeymoon - I too would like to wear a bikini when I go! Maybe we can keep each other motivated.. And remember as long as you keep your determination, you will succeed. Good luck! :happy:
