edited September 30 in Introduce Yourself
I have always struggled with my weight. I'm a grazer with a nasty sweet tooth and I don't want to pass those traits onto my children. Now that I'm 40 and the scales say that I'm morbidly obese I've got to make some changes. I want to have the energy to keep up with my 5 and 2 yr old kids. I want to live to see my great grandchildren:smile:

I've tried writing down what I eat, keeping up with points, and even having my food shipped to me in these great little Styrofoam boxes. But nothing ever lasted. I want a permanent solution. And I have a feeling this might be it.

MFP is a lot like facebook (its WAY better than fb) and I'm a fb addict. Sharing and gleaning ideas from friends is something I love to do. Tomorrow will be a week and I've dropped 2 pounds. I'm excited to see what the next week will bring.

Best of luck to everyone!

    I've been here about a week and one of the MAIN reasons I love this site is because it is so much like my beloved FB!!!! Plus, I can get on it at work and it's not a blocked site like FB is :o)
