in Introduce Yourself
I signed up for the MFP app a while ago on my phone, and only recently realized there was lots more and a community on the website.

I've never been a super fit or thin person, but was always active enough to be fairly comfortable and feel pretty healthy.

At 37, I realized I've put on 20 pounds in one year of a new job that has me traveling and eating out more than I'm home. I've impulse joined a chain gym I can use nationwide and have been sticking with it for a month now after a scary day at my job when I realized I wasn't in good enough shape to handle the stairs I had to climb for work.

I'd love to find some other friends on MFP who are trying to get in better shape while traveling - and can share encouragement about finding time to workout and eat better between airports and diners and client entertainment dinners.

    Hello!
    In my last job I also travelled a lot and had many meals at airports and hotels, adding to the fact that living alone (cooking for one is a hassle) I ended up eating too much fast food! This greatly contributed to my weight gain, and loss of physical form.
    in don't travel on business anymore, but if you want, add me as a friend, because I know what you're going through ...
