Getting Started

caseynk

I am new to myfitness pal and hope that it will help me to get back on track to loosing weight. Loosing weight for me is daily struggle and most days feel like I'm loosing the battle. If anyone has any words of advice I would be happy to hear them.

Hi - I'm the same, feel like I'm just making it up as I go along most of the time. I really think just by being here it'll help, just by talking to people who say they feel the same way you do. Tonight was my very first time posting and I've already had messages of support and someone added me as a friend, it's great! We're all here together.

It too me 6 months to finally start doing something, so I know how you feel. I have found making loads of mini goals helps me. maybe 2 or 3 a week.

I also look for motivation in little things, like a shirt that was too tight on me already fits me better...that kind of thing.

Good luck, we can all do it if we work hard enough at it

Hello! My mom showed me this website and today my office started a weight loss challege, so we got a team together and we're gonna win! I was always thin until I had my kids, and then all the sudden I weighed 230 pounds. I went gangbusters and lost 100 pounds in 9 months, but couldn't keep up the pace. It has taken me three years to gain 50 pounds of it back, so time to get back on track before all hundred come back! So glad to see so many people here who care about themselves enough to get healthy! Hope to see my work teammates on here soon!

Hi, I am new to fitness pal and I was wondering if there are any other diabetics here. I also have high cholesterol and triglicerides so I am trying to watch my carbs and fat. Seems like there isn't much left out there to eat. I am just starting so I have a lot to learn. Help!
