Looking for more MFP friends

Grandmaelf2008

Hi, I recently signed up with MFP less than 5 days ago, and since I am totally impressed and hooked on this. My mind is a sponge of information that I have received so far from my new friends. I am looking for more friends to offer information and support.
Here's a little backround:
I am a 45yr old woman who has been overweight most of her life (and I'm not talking 10lbs I'm talking 100lbs!!) I have finally decided to get serious about my health after being told I need a 2nd back surgery. The light bulb is shining bright over my head now.
I love to cook and bake (in big quantities) so my collection of recipes will now grow even more (except these will be healthy ones) My daughters are all grown up and don't need mom to cook for them anymore, so its just my husband and I. Cooking in small quantities is a big task for me.
So if we have something in common please feel free to add me as a friend and together we'll kick butt!!
