Hi my name is Reina and I just joined today. I was doing weight watchers since January but am just unable to afford it anymore. Since January I've only lost about 18 lbs but my goal is to lose another 30-40 lbs.
Since January I have become alot more active. I do Zumba at least 3 times a week, I run with my run group at least once a week, and I just started a spin class once a week. I actually completed my first 5k back in July ... yes I ran the whole thing.
Ive been disappointed that with all the exercise I do I haven't lost more weight. But the problem is my food intake. I seem to cheat at every bend cause I have no willpower.
I'm hoping that by tracking on MFP I can maybe keep myself in check. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 girls and it seems that this freedom is too much for me. If I could I would eat out at restaurants everyday. Its one of my goals to cut down how many times a week i eat out. My 2 girls are still toddlers and are in no way overweight for their age. And I'd like to keep it like that so I know I need to change my habits now while they are so little.
Well that's basically my story. Lets see how this week goes.
