    Nice to meet you melissa! My name is Sharmelle but you may call me by my nickname Shar ok. I have added you as a friend and I cannot wate to become friends.lol. my goal is to lose 79 lbs and I do eat a lot of veggies but I have problems with getting fruit in my diet lol. I love junk food myself but I have cut down and try to limit the junk food I take in. Chocolete is my favorite and I cannot live with out it lol. But what I do is pick up special K bars that have chocolete in them even though I always have reeses peanut butter cups but I limit myself on them too lol.

    I wish you the best and I will be here for you as much as I can ok.

    Blessings, Sharmelle or Shar

    Hi Melissa,
    My daughter signed me up for this last year but never used it until she spent a week on vacation with me and I saw how easy it was to record my food, and it motivated me to exercise so I could post that too! I am older(53) but have similar problems, hypothyroidism and junk food lover!! I live in Minnesota in the summer and Florida in the winter my kids are 24-30...so know it's time for me! I do exercise with a class when Im in Minnesota, but have been slow to do more than take walks at my Florida place , so I finally bought a bike , just starting to get into that!! My daughter had me change my settings to 40% protein, 30% carbs and 30%fat. You might like that as you don't like the fruits and veggies...
    Also like pure protein Chocolate Peanut butter bars for after a workout...you get your protein and carbs in to help recover from the workout...and best of all it really tastes like a candy bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Melissa! Welcome to MFP. I hope you find the community on here to be supportive to your health goals as I have. I am on here continously, I've become obsessed haha! I do not have hypothyroidism, but I've been tested for it and it runs in my family so it's something I try to keep checked. I used to hate veggies, but have been finding more and better ways of incorporating them in my diet. However, fruits tend to not be a problem since I love my sweets! I hope your journey is successful, and feel free to add me as a friend. :bigsmile:

    Hi! I'm Darlene. I'm a 50 yr. old mom of 1 (14 yr.old daughter). I have hypothyroidism & take medication for it. I know I don't eat right even if I don't eat much. My weight seems to remain about the same all the time & I really need to lose about 50 - 60 lbs. to be healthier. I have also had open heart surgery 2 1/2 yrs. ago. I need a few friends to encourage me as I will be there for them also. Thanks!

    Hi, I'm Vicky, 21 from Swindon in the UK. I've lost just under 2 stone in under a year, and I'm hoping to lose around 42lb more. I'm in no hurry, as I've had a few slips and maintain my weight. They are right when you lose it slowly its easier to control and easier to keep off :) I love the support off this site. Feel free to add me xxx
