Hello, I'm New

imarlett

Hi all-
I'm new to myfitnesspal. I love that this is available on the iPhone as well.
I am a late 30-something unemployed technology worker. I have been struggling with obesity most of my life. I have found that keeping track of what you eat, drink and exercise is really the best way to do it. At my heaviest (2.5 years ago) I was 235. Now I am down to 207. It is good that I have not gained weight but its taking too long to lose the weight I need (the doctor recommends 160 for my height/build). I hope to be, I am striving for 160 or close to it by my birthday in August. I definetly want to see "onderland" by June. I think that is very doable.
If there is anyone in the East Bay area of Northern California, send me a hollar as I am looking for some weight loss/exercise buddies.

Thanks,

FabulousFifty
