New to my fitness pal

Hi I'm Catherine and I am so happy to have found this site. I am a work at home mom of 47 ( I cook meals for seniors), who battles with fibromyalgia. To survive I MUST exercise and watch my weight ( very hard!!!) My husband bought me an Elliptical which I started using today ( 30 min) and I and using the food counter to mark everything that I put in my mouth. I am determined to exercise monday through friday ( while watching NCIS) and to eat well (I do but I think my portions are too big). I am so excited about this new project which will become a new way of life. For know I'm keep this a secret to surprise my hubby and daughter, but If all goes well, I know a few people who will be begging me to know what this site is that helped me. Looking forward to making new friends, sharing stories, encouragement and weight loss !! Yahoo !!!!
