Hope I'm doing this right. lol. I'm new to this and just wanted to Hi to all of you. Today is my first day on this site and I love it. I didn't realize how much I was actually eating. My breakfast alone consumed all of my 1200 cal. that I was allowed for a day. How mortifying :-(. Anyway, I took a before pic and plastered in on my bedroom wall for motivation.

    Yeah... I've definitely been smacked in the face by the reality of what I was eating by this site a few times, but armed with information we can actually win the battle of the bulge! :happy: Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome!

    I was amazed when I started tracking my food here too (except the other direction). I wasn't eating enough to keep a gnat alive, no wonder I wasn't losing weight! Gah! :tongue: .

    You looke 18 in that picture, you could leave it and no one would know!

    Your wy new best friend:tongue: I just figured out how to change the age thing. lol. I'm 37 :sad: overweight and single. I guess the two go hand in hand huh. Dating in Florida I find very tough. So, I 've decided to take a break from dating and work on myself :smile:

    Hey Chrissy, good to meet you. Welcome. I'm fairly new to the site as well, and believe me, it is awesome. The support is great and the tools are so helpful.

    Btw, I am 35, overweight, and single as well so I can totally relate. It's funny that you said you are taking time out for yourself, because I have pretty much done the same thing. I used to do some online dating but haven't had the slightest interest lately because I am so focused on bettering myself. If you ever need a sympathetic ear, I've got it! Good luck! Kim

    Kim,

    Thanks a lot. I was also on a dating service for a few months but quickly realized that I was uncomfortable and selfcouncious while on dates. It's sad that society and the media are shoving size (double zero's) down our throats where ever you look. God for bid you have a few curves on you. I'll start dating once I lose the weight. I bought a few cute going out sundresses for insentive IN A NORMAL SIZE 8. LOL. If you ever need to chat or vent just shoot me an e-mail. good luck girl :-)

    I'm loving this site. Your doing great. I'm afraid to get on the scale. Think I'll weigh myself once a week. I am definately aware of what I put in my mouth now. When I'm out and about and in a ruch, if I stop at a fast food reast. I order a kids meal its enough to fill me up and its around 450 cal. Though I'm trying to avoid fast food all together. Good Luck.

    Chrissy:smile:
