Hello from Richmond, VA!

Hi - Just found this in the app store yesterday, and was stunned that it had everything I was looking for - for free! Anyway, I've always been 'plump' but after a year dealing with an Achilles tendon injury and another surgery, my weight has been crawling ever upward. Now that I'm healthy, I'm ready to get in shape! Hoping to lose 30 pounds so that I'm at a 'normal' 175 lbs. for my big 5' 10" frame - using EA Sports Active for the Wii (it's too hot/humid here in the summer to workout outdoors) and thinking more about what I eat.

Also from Richmond - going on a calorie restricted diet to go along with strength training. So far, very pleased with this app. It has a great database!

Best of luck and be careful with your ankle!.

Hello, I'm also from RVA. Welcome to MFP!! I've been using this app for about 6 weeks and have had great success.

Good luck and try and stay cool. I find that because of this crazy heat I find working out in the early AM or late PM or swimming works best for me.
