in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I found this site when I started using the app on my phone and I am loving it so far. I am amazed at how much activity there is on this forum!

I am 34 years old, 5'4" and 133 pounds. My overall goal is to get healthy and I would like to lose some body fat/gain muscle mass/tone in the process. My husband and I are also trying to get pregnant and I think this will help with that as well as having a good healthy pregnancy.

I committed to this about 2 weeks ago and have done pretty well so far. I am exercising 5-6 times per week and strength training with a personal trainer 2 times per week. My diet has been OK but, I have quickly realized that if I don't plan ahead, I won't eat as well as I should.

I have some questions that I will post in the appropriate sections and look forward to getting everyone's thoughts.

    Planning ahead!!! That is what gets me. Yesterday I spent an hour or two preparing food and snacks to bring with me to work. If I don't start it Sunday- I make pitiful excused until the following week.

    I completely agree and unfortunately I did not do this yesterday so, I am going to be playing catch up tonight!
