A few friends and I joined myfitnesspal a few weeks ago, and I think I'm the last one standing. However, I don't like to give up so I'm still in here. I'd like to lose about 15 lbs and get back into shape. These past few baby years, I have really let myself slide into kid-activity obilivion. I was in great shape when I got pregnant with my daughter (7 years ago ... yes, 7!) but as soon as morning sickness set in, I quit exercising and never got back to it. My youngest just turned 5 so I think it's (past) time.

I've never really been overweight, but I do need to shape up, and have to be careful with all of this because I've struggled with disordered eating in the past.

I like to run, do pilates, all types of things -- I don't like to get stuck in an exercise rut and am always looking for a new thing to do today. I think I know a lot about nutrition (but so do most people :laugh:). However, I am facinated by the science of food. Before I became a stay-at-home mom, I worked as a nutritional guide and educator, but now it's just a hobby.

Anyway, that's me in a quick nutshell -- I have a t-ball game we've got to get to. :smile: I just dove into the community here since I lost my local support, and am liking the different personalities. I'm pretty open to suggestions, help, advice, criticism, support -- all the good things in life.

And oh yes, whomever takes care of all of this ... thanks for making it FREE!!!!!!:heart:

sincerely, tonya

    Noticed your post. It looks like you just joined? But you have lost quite a bit of weight already? Have you used this site previously? I'm trying it out, have done other things in the past but ready for something new, hopefully with a little more emphasis on support besides tracking food in take.
