Hey guys! My name is Toni and this is my second day on myfitnesspal.com! I'm really hoping this site will give me the little extra boost I need to stay on track with my diet!!
A little about me:
-I'm newly married (01.15.11) to my AMAZING husband who is in the Army ( currently stationed on the other side of the world :/ )
-I LOVE carbs, but they hate my life! So any suggestions on low carbing is highly appreciated!
-I'm a stress eater, and being a Social Worker by profession makes it VERY difficult to NOT stress eat!
-I have a pretty good attitude about life and am always wiling to lend a helping hand or a kind word!
-I have a very sarcastic sense of humor...I never mean to offend!
...I am hoping to drop close to 20 pounds before my husband and I report to our next duty station so wish me luck!!!
Best of luck to all of you! Stay strong :wink:

    Congrats on being a newly wed!! I am also an Army wife. Stay strong during this time. When my hubby was deployed over a year ago. I reached my goal and was the smallest, healthiest I have ever been. (3 months after he got back we decided it was time for another baby!) So now the battle of baby weight! Good luck to you! This is a wonderful site with lots of support! Something we need for many situations in our lives!!

    Thank you! And tell your husband I said Thank You to him as well :smile: I figure with my husband being a way, it is as good as time as any to focus on making me a better me!!! Good luck to you as well on your weight loss venture, and congrats on the new baby! I may be a new Army wife, but I've been involved in an Army relationship for quite sometime now, and I know women like us can handle anything (especially with a little support from our sisters)! If you ever need anything drop me a line! HOOAH!
