hello

Another newbie...maybe I will beat the post-holiday newbie rush ;)
I'm a fitday/SELF transplant...and on again/off again dieter. I reach my goal and then I never can get a hang of the whole maintenance lifestyle. So here I am again. I've found the only thing that really works for me is logging my foods religiously and not falling into my vino temptation too often. But....here's to a new day.

My hubs is starting with me (only he wont start til after the holidays - booo) - we've decided every 5 pounds lost we get a "prize." Not sure what these will consist of yet, most likely a pedicure for me and something in the $20 range for him.

Oh and I am a food-blog addict. My favorite (healthy) obsession is reading katheats.com - I highly recommend reading if you want motivation to eat healthy (she is studying to be an R.D. and always makes tasty healthy dishes).

Anywoo, now I am rambling, but I just wanted to say hello.

    Hello Ifisher. Since you are getting the headstart, you should tell your husband, he has to treat for the first 5 lbs lost. I have never really reached my goal before, but I have stopped to many times thinking that I had the hang of things and that I could do it by myself. Welcome to MFP, you and your husband will do well, especially with all the support and motivation you find on this site!
