in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! I've been on MFP for about a month or so, logging my food and exercise. I switched over from Weight Watchers because A. it's free here and B. the forums here are way friendlier. So I've been hanging out and lurking and occasionally posting and just really appreciating this place.

Today I set up a membership account for the Runner's World forums because I'm having a funny pain and wanted to be able to search their forums. Oh my goodness. Those people are vicious! There are some nice folks there, but holy wow, it's snarky and mean. Which just makes this place seem so much nicer.

So I'm here, and I'm working the Couch to 5K and counting my calories and all of that. I've lost 15 lbs. so far this year.I'm a 38-year old stay at home mom with 2 pre-teen boys in Florida. And I've decided that 2011 is the year that I'm making things different. Different and better.

So hi!

    I also chose this site over weight watchers. I understand calories much better than points! Welcome

    @pontprennau - Jacksonville - we have Crisper's here as well - my boys love it!

    @Nanadena - the new points formula wasn't serving me very well either - I'm doing much better just counting calories.
