I have been here for a few weeks now and plan to stay! So far I have lost about 8 pounds and have about 45 to go. I am looking for some like minded friends...So here is a little about me.. feel free to send me a friend request! (Don't worry, you don't have to write a note explaining why we need to be friends lol.)

-I EAT my exercise calories
-I lost 55 pounds in the past, and I learned what I did wrong and why I gained it back
-I am recently engaged!! :-)
-I am a teacher for a 3 year old classroom
-I DO have a treat every once in a while.
-I DO NOT believe a treat once in a while will kill me
-I HAVE tried fad diets before and realize that will not work in the long run
-I ALWAYS eat 1200 calories a day
-I exercise off any calories over 1200 a day
-I DO like to eat, and WILL NOT starve myself
-My exercise consists of: Elliptical, walks, Leslie Sansone videos

-Lastly, what I eat and put into my cart is going into my body and only my body. I am not hurting you or your family, so if I eat Pizza or something and it is going to ruffle your feathers, please DO NOT send a friend request! Thank you!

    Hi,
    I am married 9 years with two boys under 8(7 and 4). Like you I don't care what other people put in their cart and they shouldn't care what I put in mine. I love to eat also, which is why I'm obese. I can't afford fad diets, so it is exercise and trying to eat better for me. I really like MFP because it makes me look at what I eat and makes me accountable for it. It has really opened my eyes. Write back if you are interested in chatting.
