Hello All,
I am new to MFP and am so excited to start.
Let me introduce myself, I am a stay at home mom/substitute teacher. I have a loving husband of 19 years and two teen boys. Had been living overseas for over 15 years and we finally moved to the USA 4 years ago. Since we moved back to the states, it seems like EVERYTHING tastes so good! And because of that, I have gained 56 lbs. I tried Weight Watchers, but it seems like I would continuously cheat! I finally went to my private Dr. and he suggested that I join My fitness Pal because it will have me account for all my eating. So far, I LOVE IT!! I know, I have only been on it for a week, but I am down 6 lbs., I have given up sodas, drinking more water...and slowly exercising! I can't wait to dive in with all of you!
