Hello!

rsylvester

Hi there! I'm new to this site (just signed up yesterday). I was extremely active in high school and college, but now that I have a desk job, I've gained about 15 pounds that I'm not too excited about. I want to work those off without starving myself.

I'm hoping this site with kick me into working out more, and eating better. I want to do those not only for the weight loss, but also for the health reasons (I'm 25 with high blood pressure in a high stress job..YIKES!)

So, here's to good health! :happy:

Good for you for starting now instead of waiting till you feel like it's out of control. I'm sure you will get back into shape in no time. This is a great site and I can only suggest that you look up your foods first before you eat them because you will be surprised to learn some of the calorie content in things. If you look them up first you might make an alternate choice. Good luck!

Hi! Welcome to the site! I am kind of in the same boat as you are as I was an athlete in high school and now that I'm in my last year of college, I am realizing that it is time to get back into shape and lose the freshman 15. <--:grumble: This site has been extremely helpful and motivating for me, and I hope it can do the same for you!:flowerforyou:
