in Introduce Yourself
I have recently gained about 40lbs. Before now I stayed at a fairly consistent weight. It is hard to be at the weight I am now, considering the last time I weighed this much was when I was pregnant almost 3 years ago. Tomorrow I am starting my new lifestyle of eating healthier and being more active, but I know I will need help. I have a family to consider when it comes to cooking meals, and really have no idea what to do. I am looking for supportive people to trade cooking ideas with and to encourage each other. My doctor recommended the exchange diet program so my daily food intake is based off that.

    Thanks for adding me. Like you, I have to be considerate for the family that I have to cook for. I actually weighed less after my son was born than I do now. I have just let myself go. I can't wait to be skinnier and healthier and look better, all in time for me to start trying to get pregnant again! :happy:

    Hi Ladies, I just want to say that it's good that you want to be considerate of your families however.... What your families need is for you to be healthy, strong and vibrant. Getting educated about food and exercise and then living it is the biggest gift that you can give your family. You are teaching them how to live, cope and take care of themselves. I'm a mom of 4 grown kids. Wish I would have realized what I just told you when mine were still very young. Good luck and congratulations for looking for ways to help yourself be the healthiest you can be!
