So, I admit, the first day I filled out my food journal, I thought it would be my last. After 3 years of weighing around 145lbs, I thought that turning 30 meant that weight gain was just inevitable.
I never had any intention of starting a new, healthier way of life. But, after that first day of tracking my food, I was hooked. This site puts how much control we have over ourselves and our lives into great perspective. Today was Day 21 of not missing a day tracking my food. Having seen close to 5 pounds just melt away just by managing my food intake, I feel motivated! Who knows, maybe I will even start - dare I say it - exercising
I filled out my profile info, added a picture and set both my mini-goal & goal weight, now to make it official, I am introducing myself to the forums! Thanks, for the great tools and the positive community. I look forward to healthier habits and better fitting clothes!
