I am new to myfitnesspal

Hello everyone. My name is Michelle. I am new to myfitness pal and wanted to introduce myself. I am married with 2 kids and am a wellness director at a local YMCA. I am a nationally certified fitness trainer and massage therapist. I might have the knowlege of what to do but I struggle with the same issue as everyone else. Balancing a full time career with being a wife and mother are very challenging and make maintaining a healthy lifestyle very difficult. I have started a blog about my journey to get back into shape. Check it out.

Nice to meet everyone and Happy New Year!!!

Hi Michelle, my name is Peggy and I'm new to this program. I have 3 married children and 7 grandchildren and as I am getting older I have realised the importance of keeping as fit as I can. My problem is that although I like to excercise, I also love to eat, so I am finding by documentating everything that I eat is useful in reducing what I eat.
Good luck

Hi Michelle and Peggy,

I began this program on Jan 1st so I am also new to this program. I find what Peggy says to be true. I am logging my food into the database right before I eat it and that has stopped me from consuming a few items. So far I am enjoying this site and the members. They are so helpful and encouraging. I hope you experience the same and good luck with your goals.

Hi Peggy and Betterhealth2010,

Thank you for the introduction. Welcome to you as well. You are so right about logging your food. I get out of control easy and logging keeps me from doing that. Good luck to the both of you and KIT.
