in Introduce Yourself
6 weeks ago, my doctor asked if I'm trying to lose weight, and mentoned weight watchers (keyboard Is acting up, my apologies). So I figured the only way I wouldn't hear those comments is to actually do something. This is my first time stuggling with weight. At first, as I was young, I couldn't gain an ounce. Now, I'm trying to lose all those ounces, lol!

So for the past 6 weeks I drastically cut my caloris and started walking. I'm down 9 pounds and lost 2 inches around my waist in those 6 weeks. I'm walking at about 3-4 mph, and just joined a small friendly gym. My consult last night taught me that I'm in as bad of shae as I thought, and that I really can do more than I thought I could and I really am a quick study.

I am still extremely motivatd after 6 weeks, I don't see it slowng down anytime soon, and I really hope to be able to shed these 45lbs and to really build up my core and relieve this back pain.

Again, apologies for the keyboard malfunction :)

    I am doing the same thing - big food intake reduction and increase in exercises. So far so good. I trying to surround myself with people who have similar goals, so we can motivate each other. You can add me to your friend's list, if you'd like to share progress.

    Hello All! I am new to My Fitness Pal. I am a dietitian who is looking to lose some pounds myself. I have told patients about the site but had never been on myself. I am on Day 3 of tracking and it's great. No muss, no fuss! I also like that you can get reports. Tracking my intake in conjunction with The Shred program by Dr. Ian Smith. Weight management is a journey and I am happy to using the MyFitnessPal. Happy Friday!
