hello from the 707!

Hello fellow mfp-ers! My name is Melissa, i'm from suisun (sue-soon) city in nor cal and I'll officially addicted to mfp! I found it in the android market on my new phone and decided it was just what i was looking for. I've been using it since June 3rd and have lost 8 pounds as of today. I found out i wasn't eating enough calories. I have a chronic thyroid disease (hashimotos thyroiditis) and rarely felt hungry unless i hadn't eaten all day. I felt like i was running on fumes and was tired all the time beyond the tiredness from my condition. But after a week of eating enough calories and without exercising i lost 1.5 pounds! My energy is up and i feel like i'm back on the right track. I walk my treadmill or neighborhood everyday but give myself one food cheat day a week. (It was today and i had pizza and real pepsi!) I always make sure to log my food before i eat and plan my meals for work the night before. I got my sister-in-law and a few coworkers and friends hooked on mfp but am always looking to make new friends! Let's get through this together! =D
