Ready to finish what I started!

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to introduce myself since I am new to this site. I have actually been on and off of "MFP" since August but I am starting to regularly sign in!! My Name is Jenn. I am 30 years old, married and just recently moved to the Chicago, IL area. I have pretty much been overweight most of my adult life. I was a "yo yo" dieter for years. About 2 1/2 years ago I started the south beach diet and lost about 40lbs!! I have slowly lost and gain pounds here and there. BUT I am now ready to keep losing!!!!! I have changed my lifestyle over the last 2 years and pretty much cook 6 days a week. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading articles about health and fitness. I know what should and should not be put in my mouth! But now is the time to continue this journey that I started 2 years ago

SO I started logging in, working out, and grabbing a hold of my goal again! This time I want to finish what I started!!!!!! I love cooking and trying new clean eating recipes. Plus feel free to add me if you enjoy cooking, want a new friend, or if you're just looking for someone to help motivate you (and you can motivate me). I hope everyone is having an AMAZING start to the New Year!

Hi Jen! I'm Ginny. Glad you came back to MFP. I'm a newbie, still on week 1! Also a Midwesterner. Kudos to you for the South Beach. I tried it and couldn't make through a week! I love carbs. I've been up and down with my weight and I am ready to be down and stay down!

Thanks!!! Yeah the South Beach isn't easy but it really worked for me PLUS it trained me to get used to "good carbs and good fats." Cutting carbs has always worked for me but I know it's not realistic. SO, I am now training myself to eat good carbs and not be afraid of them. Please feel free to friend me Especially since we're both Newbies
