Looking forward to losing weight & gaining friends

Hi,

My name is Michele and I'm a 46 year old mother of two children. I love working out, but two years ago, accepted a position which allowed me to stay at home. That has its advantages and disadvantages. I've developed a very sedentary lifestyle and stress eat a lot, which has caused me to gain about 50 pounds. I am going to lose the weight and keep it off, and I'm hoping this site can really help me do that as it comes highly recommended. I look forward to interacting with other members of My Fitness Pal as i travel the road to the new me.

My hobbies are movies, shooting pool, going out to dinner, and "Me" days. I'm interested in yoga, meditation, and working out. I enjoy walking, but I also have an elliptical fitness machine, Total Gym, fitness ball, exercise bike, and an Ab Rocker to help me get in shape. I also have a gym membership, but haven't gone since they went co-ed.
