Hello everyone!!
So I have been trying to loose weight since FOREVER!!!! But this time I have decided to take it slow and make small goals along the way so that it because a lifestyle and easier to maintain. So far I have maintained:
Taking my lunch to school everyday
Working out at least 6 days a week
Drinking 8-10 cups of water
My new goal is to keep track of my calories. I think myfitnesspal is perfect because I am able to download it on my Android, and whenever I eat (or even before to see how many calories I will have left) I can log what I ate.
I have never been a big fan of counting calories or even logging down what I eat, but now that I have started, it opens my eyes as to what I am putting in my body everyday. If I don't want to put it(because it has too many calories) then I don't eat it...
So anyways, I love myfitnesspal, and am trying really hard to stick to my calorie limit.
