New Here

Hello all,
I'm Cece, a former New Yorker currently living in New Jersey

I find it hard to introduce myself, but here I go...

I just turned 27 (sigh) 3 weeks ago.

I have a lot of dietary restrictions and am a lifelong vegetarian (medically necessary)

I also have a few medical conditions that make losing weight difficult (they contradict each other, so its like a double edged sword)

I'm attempting to lose about 80 pounds. I convinced my husband to finally join a fitness club with me. He used to belong to a different one, close to his work - but now he works from home a lot so it makes sense. We joined before christmas. We're trying to go every day, but sometimes we skip a day in between.

My goal is exercise at least 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day. It's not easy, because my medical conditions also kill my energy.

But I want to have a baby in the next year or so, and I really want to be more "fit" before I do that.

Welll....that's me...

Thank you. I'm hoping to meet some people on here that are in the same position I am.

I'm good with the exercise tracker but the food tracker is confusing, because there are just too many entries. I never know which to choose or if the one i'm choosing is the correct one. Sometimes the things I eat aren't even in the database.
