Ok, so I'm searching on the internet to find nutritional information on the creamer I put in my coffee in the morning because I keep a food log to help me lose weight. I get a food database page in the search enginer that leads me here.

After looking around....this is a fantastic site! Exactly what I need.

I am a working mother of 2 kids with a SAHD husband. I have been overweight most of my life and decided last year that I'm sick of it and if I don't change I'm going to be in the same boat as my mother and father with their health issues....I know, this is most people's story isn't it?

Last summer, my husband also starting having issues with his heart (atrial fibrillations) and until we found out what was going on, we got scared about BOTH of our futures.

So anyway, me and my husband started out by walking and eating better. We had a "biggest loser" competition with another married couple and we won that the beginning of January '09. I was down 35 pounds, he was down 40 or so. I have maitained that weight loss now for 8 months but need to kick it in gear and lose the last 60. My husband however, has gained his back. :ohwell:

I will be using this site religiously I think and will be telling him about it as well. I look foward to meeting more people in the same boat as me, getting the pep talks I need, and satisfying my neurotic left brain with the food and exercise databases available here!

Hello everyone! :bigsmile:
