Just received an invite to join this group as I was born and lived in Iowa my entire life. This is my third day of using MFP. I had never heard of this until a friend of mine suggested that we try losing weight together using MFP. Can you tell me more about where/who started MFP? I am probably the oldest one in your group as I am 60 years old (I can't believe that myself). I am married and have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. I live in eastern Iowa, having grown up in central Iowa on a farm. I am finding that MFP may be just the ticket I need to losing some weight. I would like to lose 25-30 pounds. On meds for cholesterol, elevated b/p and have been diagnosed with diabetes
. So far am managing that through diet. How do you handle cravings? I have to be the biggest chocolaholic in the state. I have gone without my chocolate stars now for three nights and am beginning to have withdrawals I think, lol. Okay, just wanted to say "hi". I look forward to getting to know all you people. By the looks of things, alot of you have been doing this plan for a while now and have had great results. Please share all and everything that led to your successes! J

I, too, love chocolate... and most other sweet things! I love to eat Tootsie Rolls since they are small. 1-2 of them i not very many calories, and t fixes my chocolate craving. Chocolate cereal is another way I get my chocolate fix. I love to have just a small bowl of Cocoa Pebbles or Cocoa Puffs. Not only is the cereal great tasting (I also LOVE cereal!), the chocolate milk that is left over is also delious.0

Welcome to our Iowa group! I am from eastern Iowa too. I live in the small town of Tipton. Although my profile says I have been a member since 2007 I actually just joined the first part of April, and just joined this group a couple of days ago. You can get a lot of good advice from MFP members. This is the longest I have kept track of my eating and even though I have lost only 4 pounds since starting MFP I already have seen results in other areas (mostly being my attitude).
Glad to have you with us!0
