Hi all!

I've been on "myfitnesspal" for a week now and am really noticing how much more energy I have compared to before I started consciously measuring my food intake and exercise. Plus I've made sure I take my vitamin supplements!

I have not had sweets for a whole week and usually I would have at least one splurge, but I feel too good and am going to keep it up. The main reason for making a change is I have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and Osteoarthritis, plus migraines when the weather changes. My thinking is, if I take better care of myself, I will feel better, right? I've already noticed that I have more energy and am less cranky. I still battle fatigue, but today I woke at 8 am with ease and that NEVER happens so I am stoked!

Good luck to everyone here and if anyone needs support like me, please friend request me! I love meeting new people and sharing :)

    Hey, I'm fairly new too-- and YAAY for the noticeable changes! I'm sure that not only are you taking better care of your body physically, that when you make that switch, it starts a mental change.. your positive energy get a boost.. and the two fuel each other from there. Looking forward to seeing you soar!
  • I love that feeling!
