New! Here for support and motivation

savingsunday

Hi everyone,

My name is Amanda. I'm new to my fitness pal. I have used other calorie counters in the past. I've also done weight watchers in the past and had success with that but could not afford it any longer. I'm here for support and motivation. My biggest downfall is usually when I stop tracking food.

My short term goal is to lose 30 pounds. I do have a longer term goal in mind but I want to make my short term goal before sharing my long term. I need to lose weight because I have some medical issues where the extra weight I am carrying is more harmful to me. But more importantly I WANT to lose weight. I WANT to be healthier. I also WANT to keep it off this time! Sometime in the (hopefully near) future my husband and I want to have children and I want to be able to a) keep up with them and b) set a good example for eating habits and activity.

Right now the biggest roadblock I am facing is the inability to really exercise so I am really watching my calorie intake. Once I am able to I really want to start walking or doing some other low-impact exercises.

This turned out to be a bit longer then intended but I figure if I put my goals out there then I need to hold myself accountable to them.

Thanks for reading!

I'm new here also. I just signed up 2 days ago. I started my new (old) food plan (The Zone...I love it). 2 weeks ago and realized I was in desperate need of a support group and tracking system to help me stay accountable and on track.

I had a baby 2 years ago and just never made the effort to lose the last 10 lbs. I'd like to get back to my pre-baby body and pre-baby weight.

I hope we can support eachother through the journey.
