I am New 2 group, Would like Michigan Fitness/weightloss Buddy

Hello My name is Angie I am 30 yrs old I have 3 kids 2 I birthed and 1 I adopted, they are 11, 11 & 8 yrs old (not twins in the traditional since, I will explaine if there is a need to know)  and I have NEVER had a "problem " with my weight until 7 mo ago when I quit smoking...I gained 30 lbs. Since having my surgery (hysterectomy) in June I have lost 10 lbs and 2 1/2 inches. I switched to drinking ONLY water. On occasion I have a soda or other bevrage. I didnt change the kinds of foods i eat just the amount and how often. I am eating less throughout the days and less at each meal. No junk food, but on ocassion it will be ok. I have been walking 2-5 miles /day depending on whats going on 2-4 or 5 x /wk. and been trying to use the bowflex and/or exercise bike at least 1 or 2x/wk.

Anyways I have lost 10 lbs so far and would like to lose 20 more. I know there is no-one in my area to walk or workout with, but maybe someone to compare notes with (even if your not in Mi that would be ok) Or make sure im doing some form of exercise daily and give me what would you call them suprise checks to see what I have eaten all day.  I promise to be truthful.

Angie~
