in Introduce Yourself
Hey all, I am Jim and I'm 47 and this is the first time I have had to track my eating and exercise in order to loose weight. I gained thirty pounds over the last year and I want to loose it. I found the Iphone app a few weeks and I'm loving it! It is so easy to use and makes me realize how bad I was overeating!!! It has been a tremendous motivator coupled with my heart rate monitor.

Anyway, I look forward to lurking around this community and hope I can contribute where I can.

Well met everyone

Jim

    Hi Jim,

    I agree. This site really does make you realize just how much food you used to put in your body. Helps make you accountable that is for sure. The heart rate monitor is a good tool as well being that MFP over esitmates on alot of things and can really make you think you are burning more than you really are. Good luck to you !!
