It's not a diet, but about making better food choices

Hi,

ME: I'm Christine and an avid user of MFP.
CROWD: Hi, Christine. Nice to have you hear.

LOL. just teasing. actually, I am an avid user of MFP. And after hitting my mid 30's...the weight has slowly made its way up. Doesn't help we are bombarded by fast food and large size plates.

Anyway, I am not on a diet. I am about making better lifestyle decisions. That includes food choices and becoming fit.
And making it a lifestyle choice vs 'dieting' has made it 100 times easier to lose weight.

I walk one-mile a day. And go for fruit over chips; water/tea over soft drinks, etc...

In fact, my 11 year old has joined me in walking or she will play in the park while I walk, helps me cook now, and started packing healthy lunches. It's been awesome.

Having this site, the iPhone app, and friends for encouragement has been awesome!


So, not only am I doing this for me...but as an example to my family.
