in Introduce Yourself
Hi, this is the first time I have ever posted on a blog but I am excited about this website. I have nine children and four grandchildren and have never counted calories. I joined on Monday and am loving doing this. I am hopeful to take this step. I am not new to exercise or eating right but went through a bad time a few years back and did everything wrong, fitness wise. I gained an appalling 46 pounds, on top of the few extra I was carrying. I don't know if people can respond to this because this is a first for me but I am curious to see how this community works. Good luck everybody!

    Good luck Melanni! You can do ithis. I too just started on Sunday. It is pretty easy if you are used to choosing the right foods. It sounds like you have the excerise in control as I do, its the food what gets us in to trouble. I'm finding out I eat to much protein but have everything has has been ok for now. Good luck and remember to save your meal plans if you eat them often. Terri

    Hi Lauryn, this is Denise (dlarson). I signed myself up a few days ago and I encouraged my sister to join but she wouldn't do it unless I got her started so I opened her account for her. I forgot to log out of her new account and back into mine before I posted. That was what caused the problem. I heard that you lose some brain cells with each pregnancy........maybe that's true. When Melanni finally logs on today, won't she be surprised that she already has posts! She is going to love me. I already called her and warned her about my mistake. We are working on opposite sides of the globe so sometimes our communication is delayed. I'm just finishing up my day in Germany and she is just starting hers. Anyway, thanks for the words of encouragement and congrats again on 46 POUNDS! Being at this side of needing to lose weight makes me VERY impressed.
