Sound a little like me - 33, 2 kids, and while I'm not obese, I'm just not happy with myself. And yeah, going from not tracking to seeing what you were eating - ew.
Check out some things you used to eat at restaurants... it made me cringe when I realized what I was doing. No wonder the pants got a little tight! lol0 -
It is amazing what tracking our foods tell us ................ mine was way over what it should have been and now I struggle to get in enough good stuff )
good luck!0 -
I actually undereat in calories but am making changes in that area also. feel free to add me and Good luck0

Welcome to mfp. The tracking has really helped me stay on track. Good luck on your journey.0

Welcome to MFP! I don't have kids (yet...that's part of the reason I'm trying to lose my 100+ pounds) but I can definitely relate about wanting to feel better about the way that I look, and also just to feel better! Good luck to you, feel free to connect if you need a little extra support0

Tracking food is real eye-opener. It is amazing to me how much better I feel since I've been eating less and doing more. Intellectually you know that's the case but to actually do it and see the results. GREAT!
Welcome to the MFP community. Lot's of support here. Have fun.0 -
Welcome! And I wish you well. Before I started with MFP I had no idea of how many calories I would consume every day. It sure does keep you aware as it's so easy to eat thousands!0
-
My first big tracking realisation was that I was getting through 500 calories a day in cups of milky tea!0
-
I feel the same way! Good LUCK!!!0

Also 33 with 2 kids...It's time to get my sexy back!!!0

Hello! I have been on MFP for about 4 weeks. Like so many others I had no idea I ate so many calories!! It sure makes you double think on what one will have for lunch/dinner. I have lost a total of 7 lbs and Inch on my waist and hips. I broke my weight lost into 3 phases or goals to keep it small and make me feel like I can reach my goal a lot faster. In toal I need to lose 67lbs - 60 now.
Good luck to everyone!0 -
Before today I really didn`t want to know how many calories I was eating..I think I probably would have fainted if I knew. Fast food and pregnancy is a bad combination.
I`m almost 32 and a stay at home mom now. Time to get into shape
Feel free to add me if you like.0 -
It's true, EVERYONE CAN DO IT - it just takes dedication! But everyone should be dedicated to their health! Without your health, you have NOTHING!

You have a great attitude and that is half the battle. To me, weight loss and fitness is 80% or more mental. The rest is just mechanics. You can do this!0
