Welcome! I just joined Monday as well! I think you'll really like it here!

Welcome! I just joined 3 days ago and LOVE it; the site has alot of easy to use, neat features to keep you on track and reach your goals!
-
WOW! Not even one welcome in 3 days :(

You can add me as well; I didn't get ANY responses to my intro post, so don't feel bad :)

Welcome! I turned 42 in January and I agree...there was nothing bad about turning 40! If anything; it made me take stock of my life and start taking responsibility for how I wanted it to turn out! I just joined MFP last week and I wish I would've discovered it 2 years ago; it's a great site and you'll find lots of support…

I like Syntha-6 Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jay Robb's Vanilla (egg white) protein. Both of these can be mixed with water and crushed ice and be tasty w/o adding additional ingredients, but I LOVE adding a banana to them as a thickener and flavor boost! JMO, but my trainer advised steering clear of the ones sold @ Walmart…

Thank you! For me, it's more a question of preference. I LOVE Diet Coke, but found once I started drinking adequate amounts of water (for me 100 oz/day), I didn't crave it like I did before. I prefer to eat foods that are in a form closer to their natural state, ie fresh over canned or frozen & the less processed the…

2 days a week strength training with a personal trainer and 4 days cardio at home on either the elliptical or treadmill. I hope to advance to outdoor running. I just started with a personal trainer for the first time ever and LOVE it! I would never push myself as hard as she does.

I'm kind on the fence with this one...I think it depends on what you buy and your locale; I'm in WY and we only have Super Walmart and Albertson's to choose from and neither of their produce sections are anything to squeal about...most of the time, it looks like we got whatever is left over after the truck delivered. But I…

You seem to have hit a nerve! My upbringing was similar, except that my mom tried to feed us healthy, but would hoard/hide sweets for herself and she was always concocting these TERRIBLE recipes from the health food store to make us eat. I particularly remember one hot cereal that tasted like and had the texture of hot…

MFP needs a like button! I would've been all over this post! LOL I would say that my biggest weakness is chocolate, but honestly, if I give it up for 2-3 weeks, I don't miss it. To be frank, my biggest weakness is my tendency to accept "good enough" for myself and denial...as in; I've lost 10 lbs, that's good enough; I…

Some things are really easy to find; depending on your area. I live in WY, so sometimes it's a challenge! Pine nuts can be found at your local grocery store or I've also bought them at Costco (they're really yummy toasted). Kale is a dark,green leafy vegetable...kind of like a robust lettuce. It can also usually be found…

Add me too! I can always use (and be) an extra cheerleader! *attempts to kick leg into air* RAH!

Welcome! I just joined too! Looks like a great supportive community!

You look AMAZING! What an inspiration to us newbies!! You should be so proud of your accomplishment! I hope I don't offend you by saying this, but you look so much younger now!! Congratulations!

I am soooo not a gym or exercise routine person; AT.ALL. Self-motivation is definitely not my strong suit! LOL And I have had prior weight loss successes on programs like Weight Watchers, only to drop out after I've lost 10 lbs or so. Seems like I am willing to settle for "good enough". So, after seeing at least 6 of my…
