Well hello there MyFitnessPalers!

MelissaxEileen

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm fairly new to MyFitnessPal. Just wanted to introduce myself! ::ahem:: The basics: I'm 30, 5'5", from Seattle, WA, and I've gone from overweight at 178lbs to a healthy 124lbs, which I am maintaining. I lost my initial weight by quitting drugs and alcohol...I am an alcoholic/addict in recovery who's been clean/sober since 8/19/2013. The last pesky pounds I'd lost by changing my diet, adding exercise and using MyFitnessPal. I've eliminated all processed foods, lowered my sodium and sugar intake, and am extremely diligent about recording everything that I eat. My exercises of choice are cross-fit and running. Oh, and I have a serious love affair with coffee - so if anyone wants to share healthy coffee related drinks, I'm all over it!

So, that's me in a nutshell! I'm excited to join the message boards.
