New last week

Hi, everyone!! I joined the site on Aug 06, 2011 after an old friend called about how he's using the site that his wife, an RN, recommended to him. So I checked it out, with reservations about something new. MyFitnessPal website delivers much more than I ever expected after talking with my friend. I did fumble around the website at first, though.

I was pushed into early retirement, called "Permanent SS Disability"; I'm an RN who can't lift, thus, I'm unemployable. I have gained weight in years of sedentary living. Now I can do modified exercises to remain active; but it was hit-and-miss with dieting & exercise. Now there's a program that works for me!! I have lost 2.5 lbs. in 5 days; much better than I had expected!! Tracking my diet & exercising has made this a "piece of cake"! I'm looking forward to shedding the rest of those extra 25 lbs I've gained.

That's so terrific! I lead a sedentary lifestyle due to chronic ill health and am currently unable even to swim as I have an infected cut finger. I'm awaiting a hip replacement and that's my incentive to do something about the weight that has accumulated during my couch potato years. But even without exercise, I'm losing weight and it feels so good to be in more control of my body. Well done to you - this is such a supportive and helpful community and website.

I am an RN also and I started this diet 7/13. So far I lost 10 pounds and plan on loosing a few more.Really find I am not starving and eating a balanced diet, in fact having to force myself to eat more. Wish you luck and hope you continue with the success you are having.Keep it up and you will do it. I am not ready to retire for a few years yet and need to keep my strength and moral up.
