in Introduce Yourself
I have one or two really supportive friends, several other in the background, and looking for more active supporters. I'm a dad and hasband in a house with all girls. I guess their teen years will cause a gray hair or two. I need desparately to loss weight. Had health issues including a heart stint by the age of 30. I tried blind dieting but that didn't work. I wasn't eating enough so any carbs I ate burned away muscle and was stored as fat. I am losing weight as slowly as I can because I want this to be a life change not a quick diet. I am enjoying MFP because I am eating more calories and I know what's going in my body and control what gets burned. I am very supportive when it comes to milestones. I try not to only say a generic way to go but I admit I do sometimes on meal diary's when they back all up. I can talk someone's head off so let me be upfront about that now. If you enjoy introverts I might not be your type of friend. Me on the other hand take all kinds of people. I do look at food diary's unless you request I don't.
Last time I posted this type of topic I got little interest I hope that was due to bad timing.

    If you're not just looking for guys to add, I'd be happy to jump in :) I'm a wife and mom with a 1yr old girl, trying t lose weight in a life-change kind of way (not a quick diet way). Admittedly I make some bad food choices still (like dinner last night), but I'm working on it. I'm about a month in and I try to comment on updates and things fairly frequently.

    Added all of you, thanks and no I don't care if your female or male. I can see why females should be on guard with who they allow request them, but I don't mind women friends as long as they don't mind me being a man. Like I said I take all kinds as long as you want to bring or gain positivity into this experience I welcome it.

    Feel free to add me. I have a 2 year old daughter, and have been working at this lifestyle change since last July. I don't mind if you look at my food journal, but I'll be the first to admit there are days where even I look at it and think, "now why did I eat this, again?" Oh well, we're all working at it, motivating each other, and getting healthier - that's what matters.

    Yes subtle Tolkien ref. Not a Tolkien fan boy, but do appreciate the greatness of his works. And am always referencing something from my wide range of interests
