New in NC...

Options
I've been on MFP for about 2 1/2 weeks...This is the first time I've been on the message boards...I'm just wanting to introduce my self and say hi...I'm just getting into this system...I had a rough/downer of a day, and for the first time in 17 days, I blew my calorie count over by like 1000 calories on bar food...I know it it was just emotional eating...but with 17 good days with all but 2 under my calorie limit...today was the only major slip up...I think that's a pretty good start...I've just got to pick myself up and get back on it tomorrow...I welcome friendship from anyone in this area that's going through the same torment I'm going through...Oh, did I mention I'm an award winning gourmet chef??? That doesn't help matters...But I am working on how to cook healthy gourmet foods...any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Don't know how I missed this! Here is your official welcome my friend! The door was open, and I'm glad you decided to walk through and join us. This is, without a doubt, the best place to be for losing weight. No judgements, no books, no plans programs or fads. Just a lot of like-minded people with the same goal - to be the healthiest they can be! :)

    I'm in Ballantyne for all you other CLT area folks, and always up for more local friends (more people to rope into bootcamp!). :)
