in Introduce Yourself
Hello All-
My name is Valerie. I live in Texas and I am looking to lose about 50 pounds. I have put it on slowly over the past 9 years, but during the past 2 years I have noticed my weight gain accelerating. I have probably gained 15 pounds in the past year. I pant just going up the stairs. I tend to be an emotional eater. I am excited to try my fitness pal (again...it actually worked really well for me before but I quit doing it when moved) . I would also like to get some fitness buddies and really network for success!
I am looking forward to feeling great and keeping up with my kiddos. :)

    Hi I'm Nicole and new to this! I'd like to lose at least if not close to 125 by my bday, which is Feb 27th! I'm a very picky eater and need advise on how to eat well but eat things that taste good! I hate the smell and taste of fish and I know that's very good for a diet! ;( and I'm very picky when it comes to veggies! Can anyone help me!
