Hey Everyone. I'm new... a friend had joined this site about 2 months ago and LOVED it... so I figured I would give it a try. I use to be in wicked good shape (I was a swimmer) but now I have a 'real job' and I need to readjust my life style... needless to say I am NOT in shape anymore. Any advice for a busy gal in a new city? Looking forward to a new beginning. =):bigsmile:

    Welcome! My success has come with faithfully logging everything, every day. I am wanting a slow and steady change, and am not expecting to move mountains of pounds in days. Good luck! MFP ROCKS!:smile:

    Welcome

    I love to give tips and they are:
    1) Log it BEFORE you eat it, this can help you make wise choices :tongue:
    2) Weigh and/or measure everything, my eye was much larger than actual amounts :noway:

    Wishing you much success :drinker:

    Hey there and welcome! I know all about being busy. I work full time and I just got finished with my last class for my Masters Degree. I had class for 8 hours every day of the weekend. Sitting at work and then sitting in class all weekend was horrible. I gained 40 pounds getting my MPA. The only thing I can suggest is try walking at lunch or on your breaks. Otherwise you are stuck doing it when you get home. Which for me never seemed like an option. I'm just taking things slow now and it's working for me. Good luck:flowerforyou: :drinker:
