in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! I'm sort of new here...not really :o) I started using MFP back in December, but then did WW, but as of June 1, I gave up WW and now I'm here again!

I lost NO weight on WW. I've had a personal trainer since January, but I've only dropped 10lbs since then. Admittedly, my diet hasn't been on par the whole time. I tried the whole low-carb thing...but I couldn't afford it, and I always cheated. Now I'm working out about 5 times a week and eating 1500-1800 cals per day, though I've gone over the last week or so.

I'm a stress eater, and I get discouraged easily. I'm the heaviest I've ever been at 313, and my goal is 200. Most people would gasp at the number 200 on their scale, but at 200 my BMI would be 28, and that's just fine with me! Certainly better than 46!

My short term goal is 285 by Labor Day weekend.

I'm looking for people to talk to, share tips and recipes, and to encourage/be encouraged by!

    Feel free to add me! I did WW and I was successful but, being on the program can be expensive and also confusing. I am now on here and making slow progress but, it is progress non the less. I have made a goal with myself to walk at least mon-fri and I do housework & yardwork or FUN to get my "workouts" in on the weekends. Here is to a Summer of Loss!!!!
