I decided to cancel my WW subscription, and was checking out different programs. I considered fitday, but find their food database is really limited, and always ended up coming over here to look up foods. It just made sense to end up here for good.

I've committed to doing this for a year, pre-paid it and every thing.

My impression so far is great. I love the levels. I'm highly competitive, somewhat obsessive, and progress motivated, so that really appeals to me.

Even though I joined late in the day... 4:30 PM... I decided to go ahead and log my foods. Surprise, surprise, I'm way under! We're going to a big Easter turkey dinner tonight, and as I'm vegetarian, the choices will be slim (ha! pun intended). I'm bringing a huge veggie and feta salad, so I'll munch on that, have a piece of pie, some mashed potatoes and call it a day.

Activity today was good, but not typical, I would guess. I counted moving a HUGE desk as activity cause I was drenched in sweat by the time we got it done. It was a big job. I also counted 15 minutes slow walking for all the shopping we did in preparation for dinner tonight. It's a start.

So... introducing myself.

I'm April (duh!), I'm 32, turning 33 next month, and I'm a wife and mother. My interests include organic gardening, trying new vegetarian ethnic recipes, reading, blogging, and any outdoor activities. My hubbie and I own a hair salon and I do all the admin work, and he's the stylist. I also do some contract admin work on the side for other clients. We both work from home, and spend lots of time with our 5 year old son.

I have poly cystic ovaries, and had difficulty getting pregnant the first time. We would love to have another baby, and the specialist keeps telling me that losing weight will help. I have a blog about our fertility issues at http://meandmypcos.blogspot.com and I also blog about our efforts to live a simple green and mostly organic lifestyle at http://organiquegal.wordpress.com
