in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, I'm new here on the MyFitnessPal website. I'm introducing myself here and I hope I can make some new friends and/or help someone with my journey so far. Although I'm new here, I decided to get serious on losing weight in February of 2013, 6 months ago. Since then, I somehow managed to lose 48.5kg so far, which would be approximately 106lb. I never took any kind of medication or strict diets. All I did was a LOT of exercise (I was lucky that I fell in love with running on the treadmill, it's something that I really enjoy and do everyday, at least 90min) and eat less. The same food I ate before, but just less food. Anyway, I still need and want to lose another 10kg to reach my goal weight, which would be 90kg. My goal now is to reach that goal before 2014, and I'm sure I can do it! :)

I just wish I could have found this website before, it seems like a great place to learn more about this whole process and share experiences with other people. I'm still trying to figure out all of the features, but I really like it so far. Oh, and sorry for any grammar mistakes here, since English is not my native language.

    I forgot to mention this earlier, but in order to track my running activities I use this app called "RunKeeper" since February and it is AWESOME! I highly recommend it to anyone, because it really made me fall in love with running and all those statistics keep you motivated all the time, you're always trying to break a new record and it was a priceless help for me during my weight loss process. If anyone here already have an account there, please feel free to add me there as well! ;)

    Wow, you have done very well! And your grammar is better than most people I know who have only ever spoken English!

    Good job on your commitment!

    You are welcome to send me a friend request, but I ask that you log daily and have an open diary.

    I'm a new-ish runner too, I finished the C25K App and am now in Week 5 of the 10K Trainer.

    Keep up the good work.
