Hi - new to the group - been playing with MFP for a while...

My good pal Tonya recommended I join this group so here I am! I'm Karen - I'm 51 - mother of 4 (ages 28, 24, 7, 6) grandmother of 1 (age 8 months old). Have a great hubby too! I'm human resources at a stressful corporate-type job which isn't good because I tend to be a stress eater. Right now I am following a ketosis diet to give myself a "jump start". I'm a big fan of carbs so I don't anticipate staying on it for a life change, but I've been wrestling with serious weight loss for over a year now and getting nowhere. I know what to do - but I will feel better if I drop 50 pounds then move on to simply limited calories and exercise to lose the other 50. I look forward to cruising the boards and getting to know as many of you as I can! (HUGS) Karen
