Re-dedicating myself to BBG and MFP in 2018!

beach_bawd

So I have been tracking on MFP for years but I've been doing it solo. I have a stubborn 25 lbs that I blame grad school comfort eating/getting my first desk job/relationship weight. I have been super insecure about my weight gain and it's affected me in little ways over time and it's just exhausting. This seems to be the year of changes and I feel super energized to give it my all this time.
I am 3.5 weeks into Kayla Itsines BBG (pre week), and I love/hate it! It is brutal but I feel like a badass after ward. She might be trying to kill me with those jump lunges though. One thing I have seen on the program is that community seems to really help! So I am introducing myself in the hopes of meeting some accountabilibuddies!

I'm:
28
CW-162.5 lbs
GW-145

And my first weigh in/progress pic is this Monday

Welcome,

I too found this community very helpful, and the things I have learned here from some of the older users lead to my success. To share some of my favorites I have picked up over the years:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

~Best wishes on your journey
