in Introduce Yourself
Hi
I just found this site yesterday and so far I think it's great..I never thought I would have trouble eating 1200 calories a day but it seems I just can't get that much in me..lol .. I have at least 80 lbs to lose..I have tried many times before an failed so I am trying again. I put most of my weight on when I quit smoking 4 years ago and have been able to hold it at what it is now but I have to shed this I am tired of it.

    Though it can be challenging, this program is an effective tool to reach your goals...I recommend you visit the "community" page often and add as many friends as you can to help motivate you and keep you on track...MYFIT can be a FREE fitness trainer, dietician, psychologist, and can keep your goals not only in sight, but help you achieve them quicker then even you expected!

    I am a newbie too; and 80lbs to go, and also the big problem, I DON'T EAT ENOUGH! I have even stop smoking (cold turkey) since joining the site and still can't eat enough to max out my daily calorie allowance! I am a walker, so I do burn a lot of calories also.

    However, I have no problem losing weight, it's keeping it off due to my lack of eating that is the problem. That being said, I love this site because it motivates me to eat SOMETHING and "fill in the blanks" in the food diary whether on my PC or iphone.

    Good luck, Lana.
