I have this app on my Iphone, but since I'm sitting at my laptop drinking the first cup of coffee, I decided to check to see if there was an official "site" for MFP and lo and behold, here I am!! Which is kind of exciting!
I"m a 40yr old married woman who works 50hrs a week plus school. I decided to quit smoking in January after doing it for over 15 years. I now realize what people were talking about when they say that you put on weight after quitting.....food tastes DELICIOUS!!!!
Hence, the extra 20lbs I now have to loose on top of the 20lbs I had to loose in the first place! UGH!
I figure now since my baby just turned 17, it's time for me to be selfish and think of me instead of everyone else, and then me. So here I am....trying to get a healthy lifestyle going, and loose this 40lbs before it makes me sick because the majority of it is on my stomach, and hoping to make a friend or two along the way for support/motivation. : ) So I am now going to get on my Iphone and look for a "messenger" app of some sort? And maybe connect with a couple of you that are in the same boat I am and we can build a support system!
Good Luck!!!
