I am 5'3 and 209lbs and 33 years old. I have been trying on and off for a few months to loose weight but with no success. So here I am I try to get in 15 mins a day with cardio and have started using bands today which was about 10 mins. I am new to the calorie counting thing and it is alot of work. Yes I know anything worth having takes work. So any tips or help is very welcomed.

    Hi Terry! I love cucumber and baby carrots. If I have to dip them in something, let it be lemon pepper, or black-bean "hummus" seasoned perhaps a little with tomato paste and chipotle, and/or onion/garlic powder.

    I have a bicycle I want to use, but I'm afraid of it, and as the weather gets colder I find excuses easy. At least I've been out for a good brisk walk two mornings in a row!

    Oh, I like the flower!! :flowerforyou:

    Hi and let me welcome you to MFP,

    I count my calories for almost everything I eat, and keep tabs on what I do for exercise, be it cardio(mainly) or strength. I also have my fitbit pedometer linked into the site so it helps me keep tabs on calories burnt that I might not have caught with exercise alone. Since doing this I have lost almost 13 lbs and have about 25 more before my goal.

    Feel free to add me as a friend and I will certainly do my best to offer you support and encouragment.
