    I've been here off and on for a year or two. I back after trying WW for a while. I like the community here a lot more and the tracking of calories, fat, protein, etc rather than boiling it down to just a single points number.

    1. Where were you born?
    Marietta, GA (outside Atlanta)

    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    Atlanta, GA

    3. Where else have you lived?
    Charlotte, NC
    San Francisco, CA

    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
    I'm a technical manager at a large broadcast company

    5. Tell us 5 things about yourself
    * I love to snow ski
    * I enjoy the mountains immensely - like getting away to cabins for long weekend retreats
    * I play amateur ice hockey
    * I dabble with cooking - it's an enjoyable hobby for me, but I'm still learning a lot
    * I'm pretty much a dog person - love dogs, but I also like animals in general

    This isn't my first time at the MFP rodeo. I've gotten on and fallen off more times than I care to count. It's my own fault. :grumble: I lost 30 lbs in 6 months on WW in 2012, but I fell off that too. I've recently been transitioning to vegetarian. I have about 30 lbs more and 6" from my waist I want to lose.

    1. Where were you born?
    Newark NJ

    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    Monmouth County NJ

    3. Where else have you lived?
    Jersey born, bred and imprisoned (haven't lived anywhere else).

    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
    Current: computer sys admin.
    Dream: cop.

    5. Tell us 5 things about yourself
    I'm married since Nov. 2013 when it became legal in NJ. We were civil unioned before that, together total 18 years.
    I'm not comfortable at social functions and prefer to avoid them. I'm more than a bit of a loner.
    I have a macabre and gallows sense of humor.
    I play some guitar (actually I'm a legend in my own mind :tongue: ).
    I'm an Italian-American convert to Hinduism.

    Also, I have to say there are some FINE looking stallions in this herd. :smile:

    5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself

    - i am a serious travel junkie, LOVE to escape and have adventures both local and global. coming home is nice too, though.
    - I truly LOVE that marriage equality is happening at last, but am already tired of being asked if/when we're getting hitched.
    - I've recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, but so far, am successfully kicking its *kitten* with diet and exercise.
    - Major dog person here. i kind of like cats too but don't tell my dogs.
    - i like to bake, sing, play guitar, read, and play tennis, just not all at once.

    I have been taking a "lower" carb, balanced diet kind of approach since March and so far it's working. i can't live on beef jerky and bacon and eggs, but i do believe that sugar and white flour are the devil. Everything else in moderation.

    Nice to be here.

    Today and tomorrow are my last days of dietary debauchery. I've sunk this low... two more days isn't going to do much more damage.

    Hey All:
    I've been a member of MFP since May, and I had no idea there was groups and stuff. So far, it's been very helpful for me, and I've lost 33 lbs. My doctor recommended I join it. I'm a gay male, and I would really love to find some friends on here. I'll try adding friends and stuff.
    This is really cool, I thought it was just a tracking app, I didn't know I could talk to other people.
    Kevin.
