My name is Angela and I have been on MFP since the 6th of January. I LOVE that I have to keep the food diary and feel like it has really helped y. Thus far I have lost 11 pounds. This week was hard, as it was my birthday and I did cheat. However, I only went over my calories one day:) I have t oadmit that exercise is my downfall--I go to water aerobics once a week and I try to get on my treadmill, but by the time I have time in my schedule (Three children, church, and seventh grade English teacher) I just want to sit and relax. Trying to read 11/22/63 while on the treadmill--that seems to help some.

It's never easy but making time for you is key to success. My 6 year old loves to "bug" me while I'm on the treadmill and I work full time so I understand your time constraint as I'm in it too. Every little bit helps. Let's do this!0

Hi Angela, it sounds like you are doing great on logging your food! Just treat excercise the same way and get creative! Use the site I suggested (http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc) for ideas. For example, a 175lb person can burn 50+ calories just by doing 10 minutes of light stretching. Good luck!0
