Hello,
I am the new Leader, and would like to share with you some things about myself. I have a Masters Degree in Intern. Buss, and BS in Accounting . I worked for a large bank, for 10 years as an Investment Banker.. I noticed during all my years working, that women and men view finance very differently. and this is what I would like to start to build here- is the ground work for everyone. Myself included - my divorce took me off track for a long time, and now, I must return to the basis.  www.dixieinparis.com

Hi SuperFoods members,
Hope everyone is doing well. I'm 51, live in British Columbia Canada, and have been gradually been incorporating more healthy foods into my diet over the past months (lentils, spinach, beans, yogurt, more organic products, etc.) However, I was "supplementing" the healthy foods with junk-food snacks --- not too smart. So, with the help of Spark People, I'm planning to start doing things differently, and really adopt a healthy lifestyle. I have the SuperFoods Rx book, and this will be a great starting point, as will this SP group. Just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. I'm looking forward to connecting with new Spark friends, so feel free to drop me a line or add me as a Spark friend if you'd like. Sheila  Edited by: SHEILA234 at: 3/28/2011 (23:27) Sheila

Hi, Im signed onto Spark on March 8, and have been learning to eat a diet that is about 40% raw, and using whole foods, low gi whenever possible, for weight loss and all around health. I have struggled with losing about 20lbs for years, have kidney, liver, colon, and sinus concerns. I have lost about 5 lbs since March 8 - but most importantly I feel so much better. Celery - who would have thought it, but celery actually is calming..... and grapes, romaine, and cabbage can make a great smoothie! Crazy!

Hello I'm Becky, I'm 49, and I need to lose at least 35 lbs. I'm separated from my husband of 31 years, he cheated on me and my heart is broken. we live apart, I still see him often because I don't drive and he takes me to where I need to go IF I can't find anyone else. I have not started a divorce yet because I need his insurance until I find a job with insurance, I find that I can't get any good man to meet me and see if we can be friends and maybe start a relationship, I DON'T DO ONE NIGHT STANDS AT ALL. and I miss feeling loved,
I have two grown children a son 29 and a daughter 30, she has my two grand children Emily 5 and Austin 12. I count my calories, drink at least 64 oz of water every day most days more like 80 oz, I'm an emotional eater so I have to take one meal at a time and do some self talk, talk myself out of eating the wrong foods, I have good days and BAD days, I take a multi vitamin, fish oil,ginger root,cinnamon,niacin,coq-10 acai,garlic and green tea with hoodia, so I think this team will help me to know if I'm doing right, and if I need to add more, I also walk 2 to 3 times a week, I know I need to add more walking. my occupation- telephone researcher are you married- separated living arrangements- I live a lone favorite color-pink music- all kinds last think I ate was a Kellogg fiber plus bar with ice tea unsweetened. my favorite drinks, white tea, green tea, black tea i don't like any sports what is your favorite season-summer cherries or blueberries- blue berries, I eat them most days favorite movie - FORREST GUMP OK, thats enough about me, I have to get in the shower soon, I work evenings. OH I have to say I'm a proud CHRIUSTIAN Edited by: BECKY1960 at: 8/10/2009 (14:08) trust GOD, love yourself and think positive!

I do the same things you just listed-beans, cottage cheese, peanut butter. I usually manage to get what I need!

Welcome! How do you get enough protein without meat? I struggle to get enough even eating meat. I eat a lot of beans, but I think I need to learn to eat cottage cheese, which I've never even tried. I absolutely love eating superfoods. Pretty much my whole diet is based on them except when I splurge with a cheeseburger or something!

Good morning team! First day on the team so I just thought I would say a few things about myself.
I am married (almost 30 years), have 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, live in Illinois, eliminating meat from our diet and adding alot more fruits and vegetables. I am very interested in this "Superfoods" concept and want to learn more about it.

Hi everyone,
I'm a married wahm of 10yo dd & 13 yo ds who is slowing trying to get the family to eat more raw fruits and vegetables. I'm still serving meat & starch but in smaller and smaller quantities. I follow WW but have Had trouble losing the last 20 lbs. My New Years goal was to lose 4 lbs a month & I'm not sure if I've even lost 1 for January since my weight fluctuates. I'm hoping this team will give me more ideas to feed my family well and lose the weight I so want to lose. love & light Candysue

Ok, I think everyone has gotten some chain email asking you to take a quiz? Some of us love them. Some of us hate them. There is no right or wrong answer. Be honest and have fun if you wish to participate. You don't have to answer all the questions and you can add some more questions. This is NOT required, so feel free to use this however you want!
