Looking to lose my weight the healthy way :)

I'm the mother of 3 year old twins (boy and a girl)(wish I could still call it 'baby weight'). My peak weight was 210 lbs which finally broke me and made me decide to make some changes. At first I made a gazillion healthy switches and additions to my diet but still wasn't losing anything. I always thought calorie counting was ridiculous and unhealthy but I had a metabolism profile done at one of those HerbaLife places and got the actual number of calories my body needed just to get through the day. I liked it because I knew the calculation was specific to me. That day I found this site and have been using it ever since. So far I've lost almost 20 lbs, looking to lose about 60 more, so it's going to be a long journey, thought it would be cool to finally check out some of these forums, scrounge up some advice here and there if I can, and share what I can. I'm kind of a google freak so I feel like the walking encyclopedia of nutrition lately :P

    That's wonderful! We started out at about the same place and it sounds like we have the same goal weight, too! We can do it!

    The forum is really great. :) Everyone here is so supportive... I mostly lurk, though.



    (And a late congrats for having the best kind of multiples... I happen to have a twin brother, but I'm not biased. :glasses: )
