Hi everyone! Just wanted to say that this website is fantastic. Finally, I've found something that is free (kudos to the Mike and Al - please tell me I got your names right)!!
Two years ago I lost 25 lbs for my wedding. Seems like all the hard work was for nothing as I've gained back all the weight. Plus some. Sigh. But, I'm now ready for a change. I've got the best, most supportive friends and family a girl could ask for, and a wonderful husband that would stick with me through anything.
My biggest challenge? Nutrition. I could work out until the cows come home. I love a good sweat session. But, I've always struggled with making sure I take in the right foods in the right amounts (read: without shovelling ice cream and chocolate). I figure I need to find a balance that works for me - one that keeps me at my goal weight and doesn't make me break down from chocolate withdrawl (and don't even think about suggesting sugar-free chocolate. It does very, very nasty things to my insides and, in turn, whatever I happen to be sitting on).
I'm looking forward to the advice and insight that I can gain from this community!!

Welcome! I just joined yesterday. I think that this website is great too. I work at a holistic center in Los Angeles, CA and what really helps me get through the cravings is acai chocolate. It tastes great and it's better for you.0
