Happy Birthday! I am new too, and also have a hard time staying motivated with things, but I feel like this site is helping me out so far! I've only been on it a little over a week, but the calorie counter is really convicting! I am having a hard time getting into an exercise routine because my schedule is pretty busy! I am working on cutting time wasters out of my life to get exercise in! In the meantime I am going to work on the eating part and go from there! You can add me as a friend if you'd like!0

If you work shifts, try to make the meals you have appropriate to the time of day you are at work. Say, a breakfast type meal if on earlies or a dinner type meal if on evenings. I hope its been some help.0
