Hi! I'm a newbie to this site. A friend from another board recommended myfitnesspal. And I'm finding it particularly helpful being able to see the input for foods and exercise together. Great job webmasters.
But I'm no stranger to weight loss. I have struggled with my weight since I got out of college and am now 40+. In the past I've done really well on Atkins and managed carb plans, and only gained weight when I strayed from it and started making grains and grain products a main ingredient in my meal plans.
I want to lose about 45-50 pounds. Eek! That's a toddler! Since the last time I ballooned out a couple of things have changed. I've realized I do have a gluten sensitivity plus a lactose intolerance. I've weeded those products out of my diet totally. So now I eat mainly veggies, moderate amounts of protein, as well as fruit and nuts.
Anyway just wanted to say Hi and hope to get to know you. :-)

Welcome! I have found this to be a great tool for my weight loss. Like you I have struggled my whole life with weight loss and finally feel like I have it under control and can meet my goal. I will be 50 at the end of the month and am determined to go into my fifties healthy and fit. Best of luck to you and add me as a friend if you like.0
