Rain on my parade
Things were going great. I had finally made the decision that I needed to get myself healthy and without any magic tricks. I had lost close to 10 lbs before joining MFP, and have been staying on track now that I am easily able to record my food intake and exercise. My attitude was shifting and I was starting to enjoy it…
