Hi all!

My name is Shalyn, I'm a broke, stressed out nursing student from Rhode Island!

I weigh in at 170 and am 5'4. My goal is to weigh around 145. I've already taken the first step by joining this group, seeing as though normally I would do a lot of talking rather than doing!

My downfalls: boredom eating - not eating breakfast - not exercising - loving food too much :P

My goal will hopefully be achieved by incorporating breakfast, 2 snacks, and a decent lunch and dinner. Since I recently discovered I have a wheat intolerance, my diet will be sort of low carb (brown rice and potatoes are included), with plenty of vegetables, fruit, tofu and chicken. I am also going to start a walking program.

Thanks for reading!

Shalyn -

Looks like you have a solid plan in place! Glad you've discovered your food sensitivities...they can make life miserable...and that you are taking ACTION, not just talking, this time.

You know, you can still love food, and eat AMAZING, delicious food. You just have to experiment to find healthier ways of cooking things. Luckily, you can find tons of ideas for that here.

I'm so glad you found us, and can't wait to hear more from you soon!
