Hey everyone i am Jaki and i joined a couple days ago but didnt have a chance to post.
I also got my friend to join with me as we are going to the gym together and thought it would be good to do this together too.
I am soooooo excited about this i have been wanting to make a change for a long time and now i am finally doing it.
A little history on me. I am 20 years old, soon to be 21 (the beginning of july) and used to eat a ton of junk food. my breakfasts usually consisted of tim hortons or a&w (close to work) as well as not eating untill i got off work or getting a chocolate bar out of the vending machine or some greasy junk off the lunch truck. now i drink a breakfast shake, eat some yogurt and have a salad for lunch everyday. in the past week i have lost about 3lbs i am very proud of myself.
I would love input for who ever has it to give!
Thanks and good luck to everyone!

HI Jaki! welcome to MFP!
Good on you for wanting to make this change . Like you I am also new to this but in the past few days just looking at the calories I have been unconciously dumping into my mouth was a eye opener. I am stuck on it now . I found myself looking at the back of the bread slice nutritional facts. WOW, As long as everything is logged on I think we would be where we want to be soon. Good luck !0 -
i AM DOING THIS FOR ME AND NOT TO MAKE ANYONE ELSE HAPPY ONLY TO MAKE ME HAPPY ..... I CAN AND WILL SUCCEED AND LAUGH AT ALL WHO THOUGHT I COULD NOT DO IT0
