Greetings potential fitness pals,
I joined earlier this week to give the calorie tracking tool a try. I was honestly expecting to lose interest by the second day but have been pleasantly surprised by how valuable this online resource has been. At this point it seems safe to be sociable. I would love to have some virtual company on my quest for physical excellence (or at least physical adequacy).
Highlights about me:
- Stay at home mother of 3 children under 4 years old
- Need to lose weight to lower my blood pressure
- Currently breastfeeding (I allowed for most of the extra calories by setting my profile to a higher activity level)
- Need to lose at least 65 lbs to return to a healthy weight for my height
- Am slowly trying to convert my household (at least myself and the children) to less processed food
- Have recently rediscovered the joy of cooking my own meals
I am excited about the possibility of a healthier lifestyle and looking forward to hopefully making some new friends.
