Thankful Newbie

I am now even more thrilled since visiting the website and finding these message boards. I am a mother of 3 (Age 4, 3 and almost 1 year). All of my children were delivered by c-section and I have…

The first goal I've set :)

Long story short, a few years ago I was hit by a drunk driver (can you say irony, anyone??) and ended up with a crushed pelvis, shattered ankle, and some other injuries. I did pretty well during a long rehab, but addtoo that retiring and my sedentary…

Hello - new to this game...
I've never counted calories in my life, watched the fat content and followed GI principles, but never counted calories. So why am I here? Well I did lighterlife 6yrs ago and lost 3st... and I kept it off. I'd gain the odd 1lb or 3 one day but would shake it off again by a few days later and always went back to my lowest of…

One week closer to the new ME
Just found MFP last week. So I thought I would pop in, introduce myself, and say CONGRATS to all of you who are on this journey as well. I work full time as an accountant, so you guessed it I sit in front of a computer screen all day. I am a mom of three (12, 3, 1) and have used the excuse that I just don't have time to…

Hey...
I'm new. I have a friend who had great success here and recommended it to me. I'm trying to lose about 15-20 lbs (I'm more interested in how I look rather than the number). I have a blog, and I'd love encouragement of followers. I'm currently about 140, looking to get to 120 or 125. http://skinnyliz.blogspot.com/

life changing events
In the coming year, I will turn 30 and will get married. When I was in my early 20s, I didn't have to worry about diet or exercise, even though I did eat fairly healthfully, and exercised all the time. 2 year ago, I herniated 2 discs in my back and was not able to run or exercise for over a year. I gained 17 pounds. Once I…

Giving up smoking
Hi All, My doctor said I should join this site as she thought it was a good way of keeping track of my weight since I gave up smoking and put on about 2 stone. It's not because food tastes better for giving up smoking. Quite the reverse. Everything I eat now is a way of combating the urge for a cigarette. It is getting…
