in Introduce Yourself
Greetings,

My Quick Intro:

A friend of mine highly recommended this site so I thought I would check it out. While working in a different career, I recently started going to culinary school for fun. I have always had a fondness for flavorful food and a body to prove it! In 2006, I chose to live a healthier lifestyle and was able to quit smoking and lost ~50 pounds. I have been a regular at the gym ever since.

Now, I am considering cooking professionally if an upcoming internship goes well and I would like to further refine my physical fitness, particularly in the next two months.

My goal: trimmer thighs, more muscle tone (particularly abdomen), and more muscle mass.

Good luck to everyone on achieving their goals!

    Best of luck! My husband is in culinary school right now and trying to lose 80+ lbs at the same time.

    I'm a graduate of Culinary in 2007- while there I gained 40 pounds! There is a way to love flavorful food, eat what you love and maintain a healthy weight!

    It's actually quite fun putting healthy spins on some traditionally fattening meals! The hardest part for me was when I worked in bakeries!

    Keep up the great work!! From experience I know how hard it is to quit smoking and lose weight at the same time!

    Good luck! It's possible! Just a bite, that is my professional advice :smile:
    (ok maybe two bites, just to be sure)
