Thanks for giving me the distances to the area you live at. You're right, I'm not very familiar! Cool to know that quite a few others here are from PA!

I've been reading this board on and off for a long time and finally decided it was time to come in and say hello (and thank you), if only because my friends, husband, and co-workers are a little bored with my obsessions (yes, I do see that glazed look you people are getting when I start talking about fitness-related topics).
My name is Susan and I am definitely a vidiot. I first discovered this board a few years ago when I was looking for reviews on a video I saw featured on FitTV. I can't even recall what it was (I think it was something about Bollywood Dance). I didn't end up buying that specific video, but I sure have a lot of others now. Thanks a lot. Seriously though, this site has been tremendously helpful to me over the years. At that time, I had put on 35 pounds while taking care of my mother and was desperate to shed it. The advice and reviews here were tremendously helpful to me in reaching that goal (and I have maintained ever since- I always tell people that exercise is the real key to maintaining, it certainly has been for me). I'm 38, have a husband and a shaggy Australian Shepherd, and actually do have other hobbies like vegetarian cooking (so will probably be showing up on the Recipe Box thread as well). I'm not sure how much I have to contribute in the way of fitness knowledge, many people here are much more knowledgeable than I am, but I may have something of interest to say now and then . I look forward to participating, and again, thanks to the posters here for the help and enabling. |

Welcome, Susan!
I'm glad to hear this board has been so helpful to you in the past and that you've maintained since then! That's awesome! I'm myself fairly new here and also a vegetarian! I'll be on the look out for some of your recipe posts! (I have a slight addiction to veg. cook books, but my downfall is that I rarely cook with the recipes they contain. I still have to learn how to properly plan meals ! LOL) Looking forward to reading more from you soon! *wave*

hi val!
welcome susan! good job maintaining your weight loss. i really hope you ladies will share some of your vegetarian recipes! i would love to go vegetarian, but my SO has a vitamin B12 deficiency and is very prone to anemia so his doctor ordered him to eat meat at least once a week. we eat meatless as much as we can and i enjoy trying new and interesting dishes.
