Hi all,

I'm 43 and have lots to lose--body fat that is! I'm looking for support and to support others. I took an on-line nutrition course last semester and really enjoyed the support provided via the class discussion board, so I was very happy when I checked out this site and found the forums.

I've been married forever to a great man, we have 3 grown children, and 4 adorable grandchildren. I work full-time, and hit the gym each morning before work. My big problem is that I overeat because I just love real food , so I've really just maintained my weight for the past 12 years.

I'm focusing on making healthy food choices most of the time, and am working to lose 60 to 70 pounds. I'm not following any particular diet, though I am looking at the South Beach diet for guidance with meal planning.

I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Hi Deborah! I feel like thats my problem too...I just love food! REAL food! Got me into alot of trouble though so now I've gotta work to turn it around and make better choices.

I also took a nutrition class a few semesters ago, real eye opening isnt it?
