in Introduce Yourself
Just joined but excited. It's so hard to figure out what is the best and healthy way to lose weight. I have started exercising at least 20mins daily and I am making my list of fruits and veggies to get for smoothies, since they seem to be a nice way to add fruits and veggies to my eating habits. Being a foodie this is going to be a real challenge, as I have not been eating healthy at all.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I hope to see what everyone else is doing to reach their goals and find recipes and suggestions for meals and anything else that will help me. Every comment is appreciated. Thank you

    Welcome, I've been on less than a week now, and it is a great site. The people here are wonderful and really supportive. Also I find the food tracking tools a huge help since I hate counting calories. :)

    One of my best tools was looking at other people's food diaries. It gave me ideas on new things to try. Feel free to add me to your friends list.

    Oh girl!! I love smoothies!! I use bananas as a base to nearly all of mine. Just peel and freeze them and its always smoothie time. Easiest is 2 bananas, cup of OJ, little honey, *some Vanilla extract, and poof Orange Julius!
    Hit me up if you want more recipes

    Oops forgot the vanilla (fixed it!)

    I joined last Friday, and I'm loving it! Never realized how much sugar I had going into my body until now! Time for a change:)

    I have been a member for a while. At first I did not think the message board would be helpful but I have since changed my mind.
