in Introduce Yourself
I wanted to use this site mostly just as a food log because I liked the setup, and how simple it makes counting calories.

Now, I am starting to realize this could be a great way to make some friends and get some support. So let me introduce myself.

I'm Lara. I've always liked exercise but I am horrible at eating right. That's where I am trying to change my life.
Height: 5'6
Weight: 170
Hip: 40
Waist: 33

I want to become a certified personal trainer within the next 2-3 years, but unless I get off the extra fat and get to my healthy weight, I don't know if people will take me seriously. Practice what you preach right?

Anyway, I'm looking for friends, and people that have good advice to give, because I'm happy to take it.

    Hello Lara, plenty of friends and advice to find here! I also used it really as a calorie logging tool at first but the community side has been rewarding as well.

    Hi Lara. I was using the site too just as a food diary but yesterday I decided to venture into the community section. Seems to be loads of support and advice!
    Good luck with it all
