edited September 19 in Introduce Yourself
I just joined www.myfitnesspal.com in hopes of alleviating the cost of a dietitian. It seems like all of the information that I needed I have found here and I am ready to get started. I am 29 years old and I am approximately 100 pounds overweight. I want to lose weight mainly to avoid conditions that are common in my family like heart disease, diabetes, strokes, etc. I want to become healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle. My goal is to be at least half way to goal by the time I turn 30 in 8 months. I am very excited to get to go on a cruise for my birthday and I want to feel comfortable about myself. I like to give encouragement and receive encouragement, so if you are looking for a team member, definitely put me on your list. I will do weigh ins and measurements on Mondays and keep my page updated as a way to track my progress to know that I am changing my life for the better and to be able to see the progress. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated. Good luck to all.
