Hi all,
Just thought I would write a quick introduction. We are a family of three who have been eating unhealthily for the past few years and doing very little exercise. My wife has been told that she has two choices a) loose weight or b) have surgery to correct a digestive problem, so we are all in it together to get fit and healthy again.
Finding the tools on MFP very useful, we all have iPhones so thats making our calorie tracking super simple and so far we are a week in and all under our calorie goals
I (hubby) have started weight lifting again to try and sort out my beer belly and look good for the summer, and wife and step-daughter are going to be using some at home fitness dvds to get some exercise in until we can afford a pool/gym membership. So we all have rather different goals.
Looking forward to finding out how to use more of the site. Good luck to everyone with their goals.
