Hi I have been using this site for a few weeks now. So far I am just kind of looking to see how much I consume every day, so I can figure out how to change my diet & lifestyle so I can lose weight & feel better about myself.

1.) I am 30
2.) I have a 9 year old daughter
3.) I am a college student ( trying to finish my AA)

5.) I have a great boyfriend
6.) I have 2 adorable kitties0 -

5. My favourite meal is steak with a shrimp skewer and some sort of green vegetable (broccoli and asparagus are faves)
6. I can't seem to get myself out the door to exercise (even though I want to go jogging and biking), so my tv is my workout tool at the moment.0 -

6. I started on MFP because I had no energy to play with my kids & it broke my heart. So far, MFP has been a lifesaver - it has completely changed the way we live. My desire to "get healthy" even encouraged my husband to quit smoking :happy:0 -
