in Introduce Yourself
Hello All..
I've been somewhat of a lurker for a few weeks so I decided to officially introduce myself. I'm 30, live in Dallas and I LOVE this app on my iPhone. I only started coming to the actual site about a month ago. I didn't realize all the different things not included on the iPhone app. But I'm not hatin', that app has gotten me down 21 lbs so far.

I seriously started working out and dieting on Feb 9th. On July 9th I am going on a tubing trip. I gave myself 20 weeks to lose 20 lbs. I wanted to do it the healthy (slow!) way. 11 weeks into it and I am down 21 lbs. I figured why stop there? So, my short-term goal for the next two months is to lose an additional 10 lbs. In the past I would set unrealistic goals for myself and be discouraged when I didn't reach them and eventually give up. Not this time!

So what's different this time? I log EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. It's amazing how much you'll pay attention to what you eat if you are literally seeing the calories you intake. I've also started working out 5 days a week. 3 days cardio, 2 days weight training. So far, so good. It's working and health wise I feel the best I have since high school.

I'm glad this site exists. I visit it often and hope to read more encouraging stories. =]
