in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
I've heard of this site for a while but finally joined. I've been hiding for the first month or so.

It's time for me to lose weight. I'm 5 foot, 6 inches tall and am over 200 lbs. Which I'm not happy about.

I'm 43 years old, work full time, am married and have 2 kids (ages 5 and 3.75) My husband is gluten free, dairy free and soy free, with limited refined sugar (defined as cane sugar/HFCS or their assorted derivities) in our house) so meals at our house get interesting.

I joined a gym in April but only recently started going regularly. Part of the problem is lack of time. I'm working on forcing myself to go. It's getting easier.

    Hey,

    Welcome to MFP! I wish you success on your weight loss journey. Wow, gluten & dairy-free plus low sugar? Only tip I have for you is to plan meals and find health grocery stores in your area.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, DH pretty much manages his own diet/cooking/shopping. Which includes shopping at 3-4 different stores a week. But it's been a weird journey for us. He offers his stuff to the kids and sometimes they accept, sometimes not. Often the same food on different days...
