Hi, everyone!
I'm Sheila, and I just started working out, seriously. I had weight loss surgery in May of this year, and now it is way overdue for me to start an exercise program. Right now, I walk in the mornings and lift dumbells three times a week for strength training. FitnessPal is keeping me motivated.
I would love to have friends to talk with as I continue my weight loss journey. Are you game?

Welcome to the community!
If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.
Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.
Good luck with your journey!0
