Newbie Here

Thanks for all your responses.  Brenda, you don't have to change your name.  I don't have a picture posted so that's one way to tell us apart.  I live in MO like a few on this board, possibly close to snugglepotomus.   I plan on trying to break my fast food habit like Necee suggested one day at a time.  Only problem is when I take my lunch I tend to snack on it before lunch.  Determination and discipline needs to play a part.  I have started taking SF Jello to work to help with this.  I've been taking South Beach breakfast bars in the morning.  I've been trying to cut down on bread.  I hate wheat bread and have never tried whole grain.  They say new habits start to form after about a month.  I also lead way to much of a sedentary life.  Sitting behind a desk all day and as we all know your still tired when you get home.  I have a stationary bike in my basement so I've got to get into a routine of doing this.  It's been way too hot in St. Louis lately to walk outside!

I was within 40 miles of St Louis this summer! It is a dream of mine to go to the blues festival one of these days.  it was plenty hot that weekend, too!  I was born and raised in northern Illinois, so i hear ya on the humidity thang!
