Hi everyone. Nice to meet you!

My wife and I joined MFP after Superbowl Sunday (our last big splurge) and changed our diets to a more health friendly plan.
We had already cut out alot of pop and bingey snack type foods, and over the course of the last few months, I had lost 13 of the 27 lbs i had gained since quitting smoking approximately 3 years ago. Joining here though, we hoped that, by recording and seeing our actual intake of foods, it would help us on our route to a better and healthier lifestyle. AND IT HAS! We feel better, and have started exercising as well. My wife started walking, and I joined in....after coercing. lol. For the last 3 weeks, I've been jogging with the dog at night, and attempting some dumbbell exercises to get me started up. I have purchased the 30 day shred, which my wife has started, and I hope to get on that as well. Motivation has been pretty good for me and my wife. When I seem to be doubting myself or my methods, all I need to do is come onto the community and read a few of the success stories here. You are the people that help motivate and inspire me and my wife to continue in this journey. I thank you all, and wish you all the best. By all means, friend me, as I would love to see and share everyone's unique experiences here. Hope to see you around the forums, and continued good health to you all!

I know you are only joking but we Canadians do not say (eh) all the time nor do we say (aboot). Don't believe everything you hear on USA tv shows. Such as dubba-ya for the letter w (double u)-TEXAS. We know not all Texans or Americans pronounce it wrong like this!
