I'm way oder, 48, but such a ham all the time, I promise I will not be another mom... I'm excited for you and promise we can support each other,

Hi, Avcollen,

I picked July 2010 for my goal date, because this will be my wedding anniversary and I want to look great, how about you? Why April?

A friend told me about this site.  What a blessing!!!!  I think I have found what I need to be a countable to myself and not be embarassed to do it.  I don't want anyone to know what I weigh and what I eat and what I do in general.  I hate having someone tell me what to do, but I do know that sometimes I need that anyway.  I also hope to find others I can relate to on this site and share thoughts with.

5. Married? Single? Single
6. Kids? Furbabies? no
7. Favorite color? it really varies
8. Favorite movie? Singin' in the Rain
9. Hobbies? Reading, walking, playing games on computer
10. Favorite Snack? varies--I have a sweet tooth
11. Favorite Beverage?--was cola; is sugar free peach flavored iced tea
12. Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy?--realizing that I need to make a permanent change. It is one thing to lose weight, but I need to make changes that are forever
13. Weight/Fitness Goal?--140
14. Least Favorite Household Chore?--cleaning the bathroom
15. How did you find Calorie Count?--I belong to a walking site and we have a weekend challenge that involves journaling all the food we eat for 1 day and counting those calories. I then did a search and found this site.
16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share?--One of my biggest fears of losing weight is that I would lose my "crutch." You know, the excuse for why life isn't perfect, why things go wrong. "If I wasn't so fat, I probably would have gotten the job, boyfriend, etc." Hope that makes sense.

Hello I am Angie_E, but you can call me Angie.  I am 41 years old and female.  I live in Prince George's County, Maryland.  I am married with 1 child.  My favorite color is red.  I do not necessarily have a favorite movie as I have many.  I enjoy learning about natural cures and look forward to one day becoming a herbalist.  My favorite snacks right now are Special K crackers and Fiber One Oak and Chocalote chewy bars.  I enjoy a good glass of spring water and also a nice cup of hot herbal tea.  My biggest obstale to getting healthy?  While I consider myself pretty healthy, but need to get my weight under control.  I believe I have a problem with portion controls and stress eatting.  I recently gained about 25 pounds since July due to some stessful events in my life.  I realize that I need to make permanent changes and part of those changes are making sure that I work out at least 5 days a week and watching what I eat.  My weight/fitness goal:  I want to wiegh 140 lbs and be able to be toned and look fit as well as feel fit.

I look forward to making this new journey with all of you on caloriecount.

Angie

My user name is  drcooper7422 (coop) I have a face book page but know nothing about it.

This is the first time I do this and really don't know how it works.  Forums are new to me.  Blogs are new to me.. How does it all work.  I'm male and 48.  192.5 #  My desire is to eat natural foods but with three kids, all boys yeah right..... I love banana splits and I hate walking stairs.  I'd like to weigh 170.0 which I believe is achievable. I need motivation.  I need discipline.
