in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

I just started logging on MFP on Monday March 14th (via IPAD) and didn't discover this site til later on that week..but I LOVE it. I am looking for friends who may be in the same boat as me ...40 something, married with children..looking to lose 10 to 30 pounds. I just put in for my first goal to get down to 160 from a starting wait of 173..but that is just the beginning..hopefully.

I am looking for good ideas on healthy, filling foods to help me reach my goal and I would love to share tips with you!

Send me a message telling me about yourself and goals and add me if you would like..

:wink:

    You can look at my diary if you want, I don't always eat 1200 calories though, but you can at least look at the meals and add whatever you need to (extra cheese, extra veggies, ect) to bring calories up or down as required by yourself

    Hi there, I have roughly the same goals as you do and am on a 1200 calorie plan...I do occasionally go over, and sometimes under, but I try, and that's why we're here, right? Feel free to add me and we'll get some meal ideas from each other!

    Hi .... I'm in the same boat. Signed up on MFP last week after I bought the Insantity workout tapes and wanted to track my calories. I'm 46 and looking to lose abot 15-20 pounds. I have four children, married and I work full-time. I don't know if I've really lost anything yet because the workouts are building muscle I guess and so they said don't go by the scale yet (although I did weight in and I was the same 10 days later!)
