New to Fitness Pal, lovin' it!

I've been doing fitness pal 4 days strong now on my iphone. All I can say is I love it. It keeps me accountable. I fight late night hunger pangs but its only the first week. I've also been working out every day. I have to lose a whole person so this is gonna be a long haul but I'm ok with that. I've been on tumblr as well and the fitspo tag is helping me stay motivated. If anyone wants to add me, feel free. I'm not sure how to do it myself yet. I don't just wanna lose weight, I wanna be fit and healthy. I'd like cut muscles when I reach my ultimate goal. I've been trying many diets over the past few years since my 4th boy but its been discouraging and I seem to fall off the wagon at about 2 weeks. I HATE being in the 200's. So, I guess my first goal is 199. That will keep me motivated. I started at 221, my highest was 225. I'm 5'4". One of my downfalls about my "dieting" is that I haven't been working out and so I still feel like a blob and I still feel weak and limited to what I can do. Well this is the LAST TIME... I'm not dieting anymore. I'm eating healthy and I'm working out and already.. I'm 4 days into it and I feel stronger and healthier. Here's to good health, no sore joints or back and most of all, heres to health!!!

Welcome! MFP is truly great for support. I had joined over a year ago, lost all the weight I wanted and it really was through the support of my MFP's that I accomplished it all.

You can do it!!!

Sounds like me. Keep lifting! Lifting weights and being fat made me look bulky, but once I lost the fat it was pretty, so don't give up. My story here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/740340-i-lost-60-lbs-at-age-51-anyone-can-any-workout

Wow, thank you for all the warm welcomes and friend adds. Thats an amazing story! You look AWESOME, californiagrl! So inspirational. This is something I plan on sticking to. I just got into grad school and I will graduate in 28 months. I hope to have my transformation by then. Slow and steady. I mean, I'll just have school for the next 28 months so there shouldnt be any obstacles. Working out daily... no more night shift, blah... and I plan to pack my lunches and healthy snacks every day.. in class, in library, no matter. I WILL DO THIS!!

Add me.. I agree with you, this site is Awesome!! I have 26lbs to lose... it sounds so HUMUNGOUS (lol) but I can do it. You can too. WHen you get a moment check out the success stories discussion topic and search for the "ONEDERLAND" posts. These are people who have shared their stories about getting into the 100 weight class if you will. Once you hit 199.. you will officially be a member of ONEDERLAND. I like reading those stories.. they are so inspirational. Add exercise to your day as well if possible. Small steps.. maybe 15 minutes per day for 3 eays per week and work your way up. You can do this... Just Believe!

thanks, healthyliving, I'll check that out. Can't wait to get there. To me, that will be my first hump to get over. I haven't been there in at least 3 years. I have been exercising since I started earlier this week. Every day, as a matter of fact. That's a HUGE difference for me and I feel so much better because of it. I just did my first p90x video last night. LOL! My arms are jello today. Its a good feeling tho. Pylometrics today! WOOHOO!
