So good to be here & meet you all!

Hi All,
I couldn't use any of my usual user names so I resorted to...my real name! Yikes! So I'm Joanne and it's nice to meet you all.
I read a great article on nutrition and they recommended 5 free programs to track calories, etc., and I chose MFP.
I'm looking forward to putting some structure in my life with my eating and exercise.
I had a 3rd major spine surgery in January, my 4th major surgery since 6/2010. I've not been very active since 2/2010 when I did my left knee in. Knee replacement was my 1st surgery over the past 6 years. I am very weak.
However, I want to get stronger! At 61 I know I won't bounce back as quickly as I did when I was younger, but as Aesop said in the story of The Tortoise and the Hare, "Slow and steady wins the race." That's fine with me.
I'd love to connect with others here to encourage & be encouraged!
One thing I have accomplished is that I reversed Type II Diabetes more than a year ago! No meds, either! I did a boatload of research.Hooray!

Hi Joanne!!! I joined MFP a while back but never really used it. Last week I decided it was time to take charge of my health and give this another go! I'm 38, mother if 4 ( 26,18,14 and 12) and grandma to 2 ( 8 and 4 months) I'm looking to lose about 30 lbs. I'd love to be friends with you or anyone looking to support and encourage without judgement!!! Here's to the new us!!!!
