Hi my name is Shirley and I'm pretty new to SparkPeople. I am (was) one of those lucky people who never had to watch my what I ate. However I am now 30lbs overweight and discovering how important it is to monitor your food. The nutrition tracker has opened my eyes to the calorie intake of some food. I joined SparkPeople to finally get serious about losing weight and change bad lifestyle habits. My goal is to get in great shape to enjoy life more, stay well and prepare to be a dynamic and fun mom to my future child. I'm originally from Fla but have lived in beautiful Tennessee for 12 yrs. I tend to be an "energizer bunny" as friends say but am finding it difficult to channel that energy with my recent job loss. I've never had to look for a job so this is a new and humbling experience as well. I hope to connect with people who inspire me and I can inspire as well.
