Looking for Self Transformation Buddies
 

Hi, I'm Eve, a newbie here, not to dieting. I am looking for support in this struggle to become a healthier person. I am surrounded by thin people with great metabolisms who can't understand.

I have MS but it doesn't define my life. I use arm crutches and an electric scooter and have a husband who loves to help me. I have a Great Dane, Sophie, trained as a companion dog who now is struggling herself with a Dane spinal problem which gives her balance problems. Now we help each other.

I can't exercise much so weight comes off very hard and I seldom get on the scale. I'm down 13 pounds, well on my way to my first goal of 230. At that point, I will set the next goal, probably 199. This feels more doable to me.

I am collecting healthy recipes, and converting recipes, and learning to cook a different way. Even though my husband doesn't need to lose weight, he is 70 and he needs to eat healthy.

There is a download diet software I'm using and finding very helpful, Fitday.com. There is a free download. It counts protein, carbs, fats, calories, vitamins, minerals, salt, sugar, just everything and keeps easy to read graphs for you. I'm not on a specific diet, just not eating sugars, limiting carbs, increasing lean proteins, eating only good fats...

I am very motivated, and feeling good about myself. Thanks for listening, Eve

Hi Eve & :wel3fc:

Down 13 lbs! How exciting :cp: :cp: :cp: Many people around 3FC use fitday to help keep track of their food during the day. It's great that it's helping you to keep track as well.

There are many recipes around the forums, various groups based on age or amount of weight to lose. You may also enjoy the Dieting with Obstacles area.

Have a look around & keep on posting wherever you're comfortable!

Best of success!!!
