edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! I have been on MFP for a about two months now... I am just now getting around to introducing myself because at first I joined just to keep track of my food and exercise and was very concentrated on just that! However, I feel like it is finally time to make friends =)

Here's my story: I have only lost 10lbs total in 3 months...I believe I could have lost more weight by now, but UNFORTUNATELY when I first started out I was doing it all the WRONG way!!!!! I was getting very very very frustrated...but then it finally clicked and I saw my Dr. and she explained exactly what I needed to do. Turns out that the first two months of working out I was starving myself, eating only around 800calories a day and working out and burning about 400 a day, every day! My body was in major starvation mode =/ I did lose 5lbs in those two months...Not that great, I know!

Needles to say, I am ashamed I did that to my body! However, I now have all the tools I need =) After figuring it all out, I have managed to lose another 5lbs in the past couple weeks! I am very excited about that =)

Excited to meet you all! =)

    Welcome. I joined yesterday and am addicted to this app. Everyone is so motivating and you have weight in common so there is lots to talk about. Good luck on your weight loss jouney!
