hello!

I've had the myfitnesspal app on my phone for about 4 months and just discovered the forums through the website. Couldn't have come at a better time - I am doing a weight loss challenge with some coworkers and desperately need some motivation!

A little about me: I'm 23 years old, and have always struggled with my weight. My problem really began after I graduated high school and quit playing sports. The college freshmen 15 turned into 40, and then I got married and stopped making time to work out, along with too many meals away from home due to hectic work schedules and thinking it was just easier to go out to eat, rather than cooking. My wakeup call came when I started having health problems due to being so overweight, and the desire to start a family and not being healthy enough to safely have kids. I have tried food diaries in the past, but never stuck to them because it was tedious and I hated carrying around a notebook. The myfitnesspal mobile app saved me. I have logged my calorie intake and exercise for over 70 days, which is by far the longest I have ever stuck with something like this.

So far, I'm down 30 lbs since I first started, but there's a long road ahead of me still!
