in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! (What - did you think I'd say "Howdy?") Here I am - AGAIN - trying to get off the tacos and french fries merry-go-round that has put me an all-time high weight-wise. Have a couple of friends at work trying with me, but we're all using different programs, so looking for a little support and camaraderie at MFP as well. Biggest motivation this time? I'm getting closer and closer to the big 5-0 and want to show Valerie Bertinelli she's not the only one who can rock a bikini at that age! :tongue: I'm single and my only child is my almost-4-year-old Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix (Oliver). Cutest and smartest puppy in the world! (Yes, he's STILL a puppy and always will be in my eyes.) Best part of my day is when I get home and am greeted with a flurry of his kisses! So how about you?

    I sent you a friend request. I am a dog lover, too. We recently adopted Harmony, an eight year old golden retriever and are training her as my son's autism service dog. She is the sweetest thing ever.

    Charlie and I are both working to get into shape and healthier. He doesn't know it though. I am trying to teach him better eating habits as I strive to get off of the fast food/restaurant kick and off of sweet drinks and junk food.

    He and I swim an hour a day at a local hotel pool, AKA, heaven on earth!!

    Welcome!

    I'm really overwhelmed by the great responses I've already received!!!! Unfortunately, I don't have internet access at home right now, so it's going to take a day or two to accept all these great FR's. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone - have already seen some common interests/background just from reading your kind messages. Until tomorrow, everyone have a great evening - I'm heading home for puppy kisses!

    Got it - thanks!!! Funny - used to be it was all about wearing cute clothes again. Now that I've aged, I've become SO much more concerned with my health. (Although the cute clothes is still a great motivator!) Thanks for the FR!
