Hi, I'm Katimira.

I'm 40 years old. I gained 15 pounds in the last few years to reach a point where I'm nearing the top of what is considered a healthy BMI for me. I'm learning a lot on MFP, especially about why I was gaining weight. Turns out, there was a lot of fat hidden in my favourite snacks: nuts, nuts and more nuts with a side of coconut. I'm keeping them in the diet, but trying to portion control now.

I'm surfing the forums and love the advice. I hope it's the right place for me. I know I don't have a lot to lose, but the motivation of the people here is inspiring.

    Nuts are killer for me, I can't stop at a handful. I don't buy them anymore. You can me, if you want.

    I used to sit in front of my computer and eat handful after handful. Right now I portion and bring just what is allowed.

    My ultimate weakness is peanut butter. I used to have pb & j toast every morning. Right now I usually have it as a snack. Don't think I could ever completely cut out peanut butter.
