in Introduce Yourself
Last year I made a New Years Resolution to lose weight. With the help of myfitnesspal I was able to lose 20lbs in just under six months. I learned lots and felt great. However with work and family stress I fell back into my old ways and have gained 15 of it back. To exercise and eat healthy certainly takes work and almost obsesive dedication.
Starting now I am going to restart the journey. I am going to lose 30lbs. This time however I am really going to focus on lifestyle changes so that I can keep the weight off and feel better about myself. Honestly I feel terrible right now. I am out of shape and probably can't even do 5 push ups. Sad. If I kept up my current diet I would certainly keep on adding weight and fall into the family trap of diabetes. One of my focuses this time will be to keep a journal and get help and inspiration from others.

    Wish you all the best. You're right, it's about making permanent changes in a food plan and developing an exercise habit. You can so do this. Just don't give up through the tough times and set backs. Keep learning about nutrition.
