A big thank you to Mallory for the invitation to join the blog and for helping me get started!
I think this is just what I need to help me stay focused and motivated.

I've been struggling with sticking to any healthy eating and exercising habits for quite some time. I'm at a point where I'm tired of being overweight. I don't recognize or like what I see when I look in the mirror. I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my clothes and tired of avoiding social gatherings because I'm self concious of how I look.

So here I go, step one, I weigh 180.3 lbs and my goal is to lose 40 lbs! YIKES!!

And yes, today's the day, I'm ready to make a commitment to good health and change.

I'm looking forward to sharing and hearing about our successes and challenges on our joint weight loss journey!

  2. Good luck Maureen! I have found some great information and support so far. I suggest that you join livestrong.com. It's amazing to see how much sugar and sodium are in foods you wouldn't expect.

    I hope it helps you!

  3. Hi Maureen! Welcome :) I hope that blogging really helps! I agree, livestrong is great. Also, I think not eating out is the big thing for me. It's much, much easier to eat healthy at home.
