Introduce yourself

My name is Valerie, I'm 48 years old. I have 2 daughters ages 18 & 21. I moved here 3 years ago to be with my boyfriend, who I met online. I am disabled from my surgeries as well as being bipolar (stable and on meds). I have a really hard time with motivating and binge eating, especially carbs and sweets. I don't eat anything deep fried anymore, but still love red meat and pork - looking to change that but need more ideas on how to prepare chicken as i'm the only one in the house who eats fish.

    Hi Valerie! My name is Skye. I'm 55 and moved to Kingsport 6 years ago with my hubby and a passel of cats. These 6 years I've gained about 70-80 lbs and am miserable. I am a member of the Kingsport Senior Center and today I'm going to join them for a swim at Dobyn's Bennett pool during my lunch break.

    I too could use encouragement and reminders about what I need to do to get and stay healthy. My knees are pretty sore most of the time, so a low impact exercise is what I've been craving. I moved my mom here two years ago, and am just now getting to the point where I can handle my job, my life, some care for her, and ME. I am aiming to lose a bunch of weight this summer, and I hope myfitnesspal.com is one way to get there.
