    I've been using MFP since January and it's awesome! I've lost 12 lbs so far with more to go. I am registered for a 5k in March and hope to at least finish. Please feel free to add me.

    I haven't really gotten into the social aspect of the sight but it has helped me lose 16lbs! And I love it. I am hoping to lose 4-6 more before my boy friend gets back from Afganistan on March 12th. I'd love some support. Right now I'm at work and for some reason can't stop thinking about a whataburger on wheat (the burger is about 520 calories so its a big no no haha) instead of the baked chicken I made last night with a side of corn and spinich. Feel free to add me I'm not sure how to.

    Just joined today, a co-worker told me about this site. We are starting a biggest loser contest next week at work.
    I suggested this to staff. I am a Food Service Director in healthcare.
    I lost 80 lbs or so in the last 18 months, gained back 8 lbs, and want to get back on track.
    I currently weigh 240.
    Working with food for over 25 years has not helped me at all in terms of my relationship with food....
    I have many complex health issues, most of which would improve were I to lose weight.
    Already having lost weight has improved my life, in terms of more energy, feeling better about myself,
    and most importently, breaking my addictive behaviors with foods that were my triggers
    (bread, cheese, pizza, salty snack items and diet coke).
    I am a vegetarian, have been for 20 plus years, but still was obese despite that.
    (Portions and bingeing were my faults.)
    Now I eat much more "normal" portions, and don't obesess about food like I used to.

    My health issues somewhat limit my life right now----I want to be healthier so that I can be more
    active, socially, and on a daily basis. ( I have MS, cardio issues, diabetes and was recently injured in a car accident.
    I also had a mild stroke back in November which took a lot out of me.

    I volunteer at a local grass-roots animal rescue group called "The Stratford Cat Project" at least once a month.
    I have been a member for over ten years, did animal rescue work for many years prior to that.
    (Don't ask how many cats I live with...I am a crazy cat lady!)
    I also volunteer at a soup kitchen for a homeless shelter every other month.

    I read tarot cards professionally for a fundraiser for my church. and once a month at a shop in CT called Talisman.
    I am actually quite good at this...

    I have a daughter who is disabled, she lives in Florida, probably has MS but has not had a correct diagnosis yet.
    I also have a grandson in college in Florida.

    I live with my (unofficial, never legally married) "husband" of 12 years, who is an adult education teacher in
    night school in CT.

    We rent a 4 room apartment, are hoping to buy a house within our lifetime (LOL, fear of the economy).

    For fun, at this point, I sleep, watch some TV (Idol, Downton Abbey, stuff on HBO, HGTV).
    I do beadwork, make jewelry, paint watercolors, do mixed media crafts, read, sometimes write,
    and believe we are here to love and learn, and be kind to ourselves and others.

    Politically, I am unaffliated---sort of disgusted with all of it, both parties disappoint.

    Spiritually, I am loosely a member of my church, though I sit on the Board of Directors---I am not 100 % into sharing
    every belief that they hold, though it is close enough. (See online: Albertson's Memorial Church of Old Greenwich
    if you want more info on what they believe.)

    That more or less covers the basics...
    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi,
    I would be happy for you to add me. Being self employed also , I know the pit falls of not enough hours in a day and just grabbing something (usually something bad :ohwell: ) to keep you going. This is only my second day but I feel so positive about MFP

    Hi. I've been using this site faithfully for one month. I LOVE it - the ease of reporting the foods and exercises I do, the friends I've made and the things I've learned. I'm 38 years old and the mother of 2 teenage boys. I'm just getting started also. I like to be encouraging and supportive and could always use some cheers in return. =)

    Me too! :) I've been trying to stick to my tracking but would be fun to see someone else traveling through the path also!
    I am a Crossfitter and a level 1 coach, mom to a 10 year old and a field manager in sales for a big company! So I travel a few weeks a month so eating right is something I have to focus on!

    you can find me on crossfitchick.com too and I tweet at _CrossFitChick

    Hope everyone is having fun on their journey!
