Newby

Newby Hello Everyone! I am new to FWDGF. Just began my three week food logging today. I feel like Alice in Wonderland...a bit lost and trying to find my direction. I have to mention that I found this delightful French cheese shop in our little southern town and purchased some of the offerings. I have never tasted such decadent cheese in all of my life. I am looking forward to support from all of you. I posted this I believe in error on the success page, so am also posting it here. Mo

Welcome SweetP

I think you will love this community. Everyone here is very kind and supportive. My advice it to take it slow and don't be too hard on yourself. You will find your way and what works best for you.

Hello all newbys!

Welcome to FWDGF! We're a friendly bunch with a vast amount in common. In particular, we are all Francophiles! Hopefully you'll glean as much as we all have from sharing on this site. Ava

Hi I have just came back so kinda New

It is very hard for me to be kind to me. After raising six children and all but one are out of the nest ((Tweet Tweet) You'd think life would be easy, But I find it hard to do with everyone gone, My hubby and I both need to lose weight so starting this Leek-ee weekend I am getting back into gear. Have a great one!! and help me stay strong!! :-)

Staying strong

We are all here for you. We all need each other to stay strong. When I backslide (very often) I come on here and reread some of the posts and feel supported by my extended family.

Hi - another newby here...

I've just found this wonderful site, which encompasses all that I'm trying to incorporate into my life - a sense of style, an appreciation of quality and the pleasures in life, and a little self-discipline! Looking forward to 'meeting' you all! Kate

Welcome Kate

Glad to see you here. You will find we all pull together and that in moments of stress or slight backsliding there is always someone here to lend a supportive ear. Take care.

Welcome

Welcome Kate...It is so wonderful to have other "newbys" to travel this path with. I know we will all do quite well with the help everyone is willing to extend. Mo (actually short for "mom")

Welcome!

I'm sure you'll get a lot of help and support from this community. And I'm a bit envious that you have a French shop near you - especially a cheese shop, because I adore cheese!

Cheese

Thank you for the welcome. I wish I could share my little cheese shop with all of you. I too am a cheese addict...but only the best types of cheese.

Dear Newby..Welcome

You will enjoy this site. Everyone is very nice. I'm new also and trying to find my inner Frech Woman. Don't be afraid to jump into the discussions. There are so many I get confused..lol I just blame it on turning 50! Again welcome and enjoy.

Welcome

Thank you so very much to everyone for the gracioius welcomes. Coco, I welcome you also since you are fairly new. I tried the MBC this morning and also made my hubby some. It was heaven! I am not sure my food list is producing the results I imagined, but it does seem I tend to eat too much bread and way too many roasted peanuts. I have begun watching my portions already. I am not blessed with much patience so keeping this list is difficult for me. I believe I will try the magical leek broth this coming weekend. Happy 4th to all.

You are most welcome Mo

I can relate to list making and patience! I have found that planning out my meals and writing them down and making adjustments thru out the day seems to help. Good luck withe the leek soup. I plan on cleasing next week while on vacation. The soup is delish!!! Enjoy your day.
