Hey, everyone. I just joined on Friday, and am actually enjoying keeping track of my food and exercise so far. I also just joined a gym for the first time in my life last Tuesday, so lots of exciting firsts. I'm hoping to get back to my post-pregnancy weight (I know - most people say pre-pregnancy, but I was actually smaller after each of my children - wierd, I know). My youngest is almost seven and in the last few years, I've managed to gain about 40 pounds. Not cool, and I'm finally doing something about it. (I refuse to spend any more money on clothes this size when I have a ton of perfectly good clothes about 40 pounds ago.)

So - any tips are appreciated. I'm looking forward to being here!!!
