Permission to come aboard?

Hello, wonderful people! My name is Lori. I'm so glad to have been steered to MFP by a friend. I'm looking to safely lose 30 pounds. Until I hit 40 yrs + and quit smoking I'd stayed around 98-105 lbs. The whole I-could-eat-anything-and-never-gain-a-pound thing. Then premenopause clubbed me in the head & my weight ballooned. I found myself staring down at a scale that said 146.5 pounds. I'm at the point where I see a magazine ad for ice cream and the very sight puts another 5 on my frame. Egad.

In the 10 days or so I've been here I've lost just under 2 pounds. I'd like to thank MFP and all of you for being such a great help.

And to any other Marine Moms or USMC family members, SEMPER FI!

    Welcome to MFP and love your attitude! Congrats on the quitting smoking. I was a life long smoker as well and have been smoke free for just about two years...I miss them sometimes, they were my friends but we had to break up, it was a dysfunctional relationship...lol
