Hi, my name is Andrea and I just found this website today. I LOVE the food database, by the way!

I have a little over 100 pounds to lose and am just trying to consciously live a healthier lifestyle. I've never done well with structured diets, but counting calories is OK as long as I don't get obsessed with it.

Right now I have a bad chest cold, so exercise is not really an option. Once I'm better, I'm going to work on incoporating more exercise into my day.

I am 40 years old, married to my best friend Ken, we live near Detroit, Michigan, and have a dog and a cat. Currently we do not have kids and I doubt we ever will. It's just not something we have ever wanted for ourselves, although I do love kids.

Anyway, that's a little about me and I hope to get to know all of you, too.

Andrea

    Hi Andrea!
    Welcome and good luck on your quest. I have been doing this now for 4 weeks. I love the accountabilty the site gives you with food and exercise. I am exercising 6 days a week.. I started out with 10 min. Now I am doing 30 + and feeling better. I am not seeing the dramatic drop on the scale that I would like to see but for some reason it has been that way for a few years. I think its peri menapause but either way I will keep on striving to be a healthier me.
    I grew up in Flint Michigan so again WeLcome from another Michigander.
