in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

My name is Desiree from Denver, Colorado.

I used to be a cross-country runner and ice hockey player (i.e., I could anything I want and was even enouraged to salt my food [to retain water before a long run] and carbo-load).

Now... I'm not. But I am engaged! And I'm trying to lose 25 pounds for my wedding.

I work one full-time job and one part-time job, so I'm pretty busy. Not to mention, the part-time job is as a bartender, so I am well aware that my beer-and-shot combo at the end of the shift adds up (and then some).

I'm just looking for some friends, some support, and hopefully--one of these days--I can pay it forward and be somebody else's friend and support!

Thanks for "listening!"

    I'm new and looking for support! I started working out a few months ago, but after realizing I had GAINED 13 pounds when trying to "just eat better while I work out," I realized I needed to keep a food journal and make sure that I stick to my 1200 calories a day. Three days into tracking now...

    Congratulations on your engagement! When are you hoping to lose the weight by?

    I am the head cook at a bar. I know the pitfalls a bar can offer. Will power is the key ingredient when working around all the food and alcohol. Support helps.

    2 of my bartenders and myself have started a group to encourge and support each other.
