Just introducing myself...
I have been gulty of lurking for the past month just reading posts and logging my food. I haven't wanted to admit how much I want to get my weight under control...no - not my weight - my life is more like it!
I turned 40 this year and it smacked me in the forehead that THIS is as good as it is going to get. I quit smoking a year and a half ago and with it gained a good 40 pounds. At my heaviest I was 168 and now I have my goal set at 140. I don't want to be rail thin - I'll settle for healthy. I have had a bout with an overactive thyroid and now manage an underactive thyroid. Crazy, huh? Anyway - not to babble but, "Hi" everyone.! Just trying to get to the better me!
