Hi, I'm new! Need some MFP friends for motivation.

DeeDiddyGee

Hi, many name is Dee. I am 48 years old and live in Rhode Island. I am pretty good at counting calories and losing weight; however, over the past few years I sort of let myself go. My husband is Italian and loves his pasta...we got married 3 years ago and I seemed to have jumped on board and joined him in "bulk eating." Well, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I like this site. I used to use WW Online and was successful becuase I am good at counting calories, points, exchanges or whatever they chose to use at WW at any given time; however, I AM TIRED OF PAYING A MONTHLY FEE TO WW, when I can have the same online tools for FREE here on MFP.

I need some MFP "friends" for support. I am peri-menopausal, and the weight is not coming off as easily as it has in past years. I need to lose 50 lbs. I have increased my exercise and am on 1200 calories per day, and it is working.

Just need a few "buddies" so I don't feel like I am doing this alone.

Thank you.

Dee

Hi Dee. My name is Terri. I'm 52 and live in PA. I gained some weight from menopause/thyroid and quitting a part time job that gave me lots of exercise. Slacked off this winter and am trying to get back into working out and eating healthy. I walk, do a lot of gardening and am doing some exercise DVD's. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I'm on several times a day to update my diary and offer encouragement.
