in Introduce Yourself
Today is my beginning. I've used myfitnesspal as a tracking app off and on for the last year and really like how easy it is to use, but I need more motivation. Today I'm starting my quest for 30 lost pounds. Instead of just relying on my own initiative, I hope to use these community forums and the other tabs to boost my resolve and stay on plan. I've never logged on here before.. it will be fun and interesting to learn from others. (I have one local friend that is starting with me... support helps!... ha ha together we can!)

I am 52 years old and have been 25 or more pounds overweight for the last 10 years. I weigh 204 pounds and just started having to buy size 18 pants.... no no no. Something's gotta go. :) Today is the beginning.

    Good luck. My goal is to get back to my high school weight. To do that, it means going from 274 currently down to 180 or so. so far when I started I was 282. 9 pounds in the first week may seem a lot but most of it is water and some fat loss.

    My fitness pal helps me greatly keeping track of the food and exercise. The workouts may look extreme but given in my youth i played soccer, you can imagine how many miles on the soccer field I would do each time.

    good luck on things, and remember not alone on the task.
