in Introduce Yourself
My name is Tammy and I am 39 years old. I have been married for 21 years and have 2 sons. My oldest son and his girlfriend recently had a baby so I am also a new grandmother. I have been a yo-yo dieter for many years but would now like to learn how to take the weight off and actually keep it off. I have gotten serious the last 2 weeks thanks to MFP and have lost 7 lbs. but have many more to go. I'm a little self conscious about putting myself out there on MFP but would love to have people to share with.

    WELCOME!!! This really is a great site to keep you on track calorie wise. I never realized what a carb hound I am! I have been using MFP for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. I've lost 4 lbs so far and am trying like crazy to keep my carbs down and get my protiens up!! UGH!!! Without MFP I would have just kept going on as I was and never get the weight off! Feel free to ad me a a friend if you'd like! We can all use all the support we can get sooner or later!!!!!!!
    Good Luck! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

    @ jrdrummer20:
    My problem was just the opposite. I didn't think I was doing too bad food wise then I found out why I am having trouble losing weight and only maintaining!!!! This site helps me eat the foods I need vs what I think I need as that was really way off base! Good luck to you!!!!!!!
