in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I just joined this site yesterday. I have about 20-30 lbs I would like to lose. I have hit the age where it is just so hard to get it off....so I am hoping that this site will give me a little extra. I could really use all of the support I can get. Thanks.:tongue:

    I joined 3 days ago and also would like to lose 30#s. I just reviewed my menus and realize I'm high on carbs and low on protein. I think that might be one of the good things about this site. If I was just keeping a regular food diary, I wouldn't have noticed that. I'm not a strict vegetarian, but do eat several non-meat meals a week - not really sure how to get the protein without the fat. Losing weight is always a learning process. I lost weight several years ago and kept it off for a few years, but especially for women, I think emotions are a major part of the problem! We moved about three years ago and that really threw me off kilter. Hopefully, with online friends, I can get back on track. Have a good day! Hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi LindaSueHall,
    I'm not a strict vegetarian, but do eat several non-meat meals a week - not really sure how to get the protein without the fat.

    Quinoa, lentils and chickpeas are my top choices for low-fat veggie protein. They are still carbs, but have a low glycemic index rating, and are nutrient-rich.

    Welcome ! I am sort of a newbie too with just joining last week after a couple of friends in the office told me about the site. Everybody is very supportive and positive so it is great to have each other - it can be hard but if you keep your goal in site you can do it!!
