in Introduce Yourself
Hello. I'm 41 and a full time working mom. I have about 100 lbs to lose but would be grateful to lose 75! Heck I'd be grateful to lose 25!
I absolutely love eating healthy and clean. Isn't that funny?!?! It's true though. Also, I'm gluten free (strong sensitivity) and mostly choose organic foods. So, what's the problem you ask???

I AM ADDICTED TO FOOD.

Not junk per say, just food. I love it. I love restaurants and cooking and cooking shows etc.

So, I struggle to stay in control. Anyone out there want to buddy up? I'd love some extra motivation and support and the opportunity to check out your diary to find ideas for what's working. I'd be thrilled to offer my support and encouragement.

Please add me if you're interested.

Thanks!

    Hi. I'm Christine and relatively new and know from experience that you can still struggle with your weight on a mostly vegan, whole foods diet. Tracking on MFP the first two weeks are a real eye opener on just how much I had been eating! Stay focused on small goals (five pounds at a time) and remember, progress not perfection. You've got this!

    The good news is that you have a lot of experience cooking for yourself. Now just get your calorie deficit set up, fill your day with deliciousness that you have mostly made yourself and keep going. Many people here don't really know much about food preparation and have to learn a lot.
