in Introduce Yourself
Yay me!
I'm being silly but seriously, I DID in fact make it one full day without eating anything crappy or super-sugar & fat filled. That has to count for something.

I would love to find some fun MFP friends - special bonus points for Austinites - to share meal and snack ideas, exercise tips (though just getting me to the gym anytime soon will be a miracle), and potentially, for the locals, do a monthly healthy dining get together.

Am also hoping to make friends with women with PCOS. I just started Metformin last week and would be interested in comparing notes on it's affects on eating, appetite, etc.

Happy Tuesday, all!
Jen in Austin

    one full day is AWESOME, not silly at all. it's hard when you realize how bad you really DO eat! i'm going to add you. i know my ticker says i haven't lost much.. but i was 10 lbs from my goal weight last year, and then i let myself get too off track and ate like crap for a year and gained it all back. so i've done it before and i have a little bit of knowledge! anything you need to know feel free to ask!

    So I'd love to know where in town y'all might go for quick, healthy meals.

    I'm just south of downtown so I like The Screaming Goat and their taco salad with abodabo chicken. And I love Freebird's salads.
    Course, now I need to figure out their nutritional values...

    Anymore Austin-ites out there? Would love to make some more friends, continue the mutual support, and share favorite local eateries :) And particularly MEN. I have almost no male friends on here. I am not scary - promise :p

    Hello, I am not from Austin, but I am with you on PCOS. I have been on metformin since Nov 2010 and since then it has helped me lose 14lbs without trying. But it did mess with my stomach quite a bit at first. Then is goes away.

    Yea for Jen's in Austin! Are you guys doing the monthly healthy dinners? It would be nice to have a local MFP support group. I'm glad I found this thread :)

    We haven't done a get together mainly because I haven't done any organizing :p
    I've been working a 3pm-11pm job so dinners are easier said than done!
