Jeans don't fit

It is shallow, but the main reason I am starting this fitness plan it so that I can fit into my jeans. I mean, I do want to be more healthy as well.

For example, last weekend I helped my daughter move into her new house. I worked really hard. I was exhausted for most of this week from the work. This means I am out of shape and I need to pull it together. I am going to be 47 at the end of this month. My first goal that I want to reach is to lose 3 pounds by then.

I work at a college and I have one son left at home who is 13. If you want to join me for support. feel free to add me as a friend. I got SO excited to see that I can have an app on my phone so that I can take my fitness pal any place I go. :)

    Welcome!! Hey... ANY reason is a good reason to start making yourself look and feel better!!!

    I started at 218 pounds last year and I am down about 65 pounds! (Since my husband returned from his military deployment, I seem to keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds!)

    I wanted to get out of my size 20W clothes and eventually stop taking cholesterol medication -- I am now in a size 10 (155 pounds) and I no longer have to take cholesterol meds....

    I went from a size 44" waist to a size 30"!!!! I count calories - simple as that.... everyone in the world wants to know the big secret to weight loss --- I have it --- CALORIE INTAKE REDUCTION!!

    Good luck to you!! :happy:

    I agree calorie counting works. You name the diet I have tried it. Once before lost 50 pounds and counted calories and exercised. Wonder why I thought other diets would work miracles:) So when I found this web site I am so excited. Need the support to get back on track.

    OH.... and for a word of encouragement......(and bragging on my part)

    In January, the jeans I'm wearing now didn't even come close to fitting. Now they're actually a bit loose.

    You're going to be saying the same thing about your jeans in a few months!!!!! :drinker:
