Hey all.....

Just this site alone is pretty fun to me, I have a lot of time on my hands right now. LOL. I've been doing this for about a week and lost a pound and a half. I am home from military training, had an injury and couldn't run for 4 months, gained some weight, and now just sitting around waiting to switch to Active Duty to get stationed with my fabulous husband. So, I figure....I need to get back in shape and change my eating habits. But having no one to talk to on here got boring fast!

    I joined a couple weeks ago and have found a lot of motivation and support! I have been dealing with an injury for 11 months and have gained about 50 lbs. I am not active duty but my hubby is so I understand the stress of being apart. Please add me if you would like and I will be glad to talk! Welcome and good luck!

    Welcome! I've been using MFP since last March when I became unemployed and had a lot of time on my hands. Now I'm back to working and addicted to logging my foods and exercise, but I only recently discovered the message boards and now I'm more addicted then ever! Love it!

    a pound and a half a week is great! Wonderful job!

    I've found the site really useful and the support is great. My weight has gradually reduced - slowly but steadily.
