Hi y'all,

I'm Susanna. My nutritionist turned me on to MFP about a month ago. I've been logging my calories & exercise for the past few weeks, but haven't joined any groups until now.

I'm 57, weigh 200 pounds (gained 60 pounds when I quit smoking & fractured my knee two years ago) am 64 inches tall, and live in Connecticut. I've been divorced for ages, and have a grown 32 year old son who lives on the other side of the planet. I am an emotional eater.

I've been a vegetarian (37 years) and have Celiac's disease (10 years) and am looking to lose the weight I gained, and amp up my protein intake. I want to go dairy-free, but have been using dairy as a big protein source, and am in the midst of working out meal plans that work for me with my dietary restrictions and crazy busy life. Plan to check in once a day - late afternoon - and I'm really looking forward to being here with y'all on this journey.
