    Hi, my name is Kim... and I have a problem with food!

    I am using MFP to control how much I eat and to connect with people who have weight problems. I used to be so thin when I was young but I used to starve myself and then binge. I no longer binge but I still have a problem with eating healthy and making healthy choices. I can no longer lose weight from starving myself. I have realized that it is not good for me and it just makes me fatter!!!

    My favorite class was an Anthropology class I took at IU, I think it was called Genetics and Man. We learned about evolution and even got to go to the zoo and observe the apes and monkeys, it was like a field study and we had to write a paper. I just loved that class and almost thought of changing my major because of it!

    I would love to learn french, I always thought it was such a cool language.

    I want to become aware of what I eat and how it effects my health. I also need the accountability of checking in with others and knowing I'm not alone! This group is wonderful.

    My favorite class was always band and lessons. I'm thinking of guitar lessons in my near future.

    I want to learn what the various nutrients we get from our food do to make our body healthy, build muscles, and keep our heart healthy. I am trying to help my 84 year old dad eat healthy, and I'm learning a lot from his kidney doctor. Dad has, among other things, stage 4 kidney disease. He's been eating the wrong things that seem healthy - peanut butter, cheese, etc. which are making him weak and keeping him from building muscle mass. I never knew how complex it all is! What's good for one thing is bad for another.
  • Hello(: My name is Chrissy and I'm new to the group. I was hoping to find some new friends for support and inspiration. This looks like a good, friendly place to help keep me accountable which is exactly what I need.

    Have you tried couch to 5k? That program really helped me with my running. I used to hate running and now I actually look forward to it. I got my husband using the c25k app too and he agrees that its a good program for people who aren't used to running but want to build their endurance. :)
  • Thank you so much! Im going to look into that right now!

    Hi I'm hoping its not late to join.

    I'm helen
    Positive energy to keep moving forward with my goals, I was doing really well but have become stuck. I think maybe I took on too much.
    I cant remember much about the classes at school. A couple of years ago I did a crystal healing course, it was very enjoyable.
    What I want to learn this month is how to maintain a healthy lifestyle change.
