HI! going to make this 'My Year"

mattsdad1961

I'm turning 50 this year...so I guess I feel that this is now or never...got lots to deal with...like everyone...too much job stress...a 3hour+ commute every day...10 hour work day..no time to exercise...easy to snack on fast food...it seems like the only time I allow myself to not be working is when I take a moment to eat....grrrrrrr....

Anyway...I have used the food tracker in MFP for a couple of days and it has really allowed me to be more thoughtful about what I am eating...it's a start... I'm hopeful this will help me get on the path to learning new habits and provide motivation for better choices...

Thanks, in advance, for any support offered...

Welcome. I started my "new life" a little over a year ago. The logging is so easy and I actually enjoy exercise. This is the longest I've been able to maintain healthy eating and physical fitness. I'm also smaller and more fit than I've been in years. MFP is great!

Hi. This is my year too. I am right behind you in age and have a bit more weight to lose, and my commute is 2 hours daily, so kind of similar..... I am here if you want additional support and encouragement. This is an awesome way to hold yourself accountable. Sending you a friend request. Let's do this! Jill
