in Introduce Yourself
Just joining my fitness pal, i live in an area where i know NO one so dont have any diet/workout partners. heard about fitness pal thought i would check it out. I have lost 60 lbs since i had my baby 6 months ago. I am about 15 lbs less then my pre-baby weight. My goal is to lose about 20-30 more, I am down 5 lbs so far this week :-)

    Hi Heidi. Its my first time here too. I lost 1 1/2 stone last year, but became a food eating machine again over Christmas, so back on it using this site rather than the expensice clubs which, quite fankly, made me feel a bit awkward. My goal is to lose another 1 1/2 stone. Whilst I'm there, I'd also like to give up smoking...

    My first time on here, I have been on using app since last Saturday and so far I love it except when the internet doesn't work. I have been navigating around other place today with my computer, I started with app on my phone and love that I can look to see if what I am going to eat is listed to know the nutritional information. I have even been posting recipes. I have lost 5 pounds since Saturday. I am doing a detox diet. Love the app so far.:smile:

    I seen this site the other day and was skeptic but decided to join last night :) So today is my first official day on living healthier and being a newbie to my fitness pal :) I have close to 40 pounds to lose to get into that healthy bmi, but i would love to lose 10 more on top of that. I found a list of healthy frozen dinners on (http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/top-12-healthy-frozen-dinners)....if anyone is interested in checking it out for those days when u just dont have time to cook or....its just one of those days :P

    Good luck all.As you'll find out, the key is consistency, pacing your weight-loss (no more than 2 pounds a week) and eating back all your exercise calories. This will help ensure you are making sustainable changes and avoid letting your body go into starvation mode where it starts working really hard to keep the pounds on.

    Happy New Year!

    I am new to Fitness pal as well. I have been on it for the past week. I am not on any specific diet, just counting the calories of what I eat. Do you think this will work? Or should I be following a specific diet as well? I am incorporating exercise, but I am just keeping within my allotted calories for the day eating regular foods. I'm trying to make healthier choices as well. Any advise on diets or ideas is much appreciated. I'm looking to drop 40-50 pounds. I've had two children and quite smoking. The weight just seemed to creep up on me and didn't go away.

    I am new to this site too, but it is pretty amazing so far- wished I knew about it when I was losing all my weight but I think it is still going to be a great tool to keep on track.

    I realize, this was over a year ago you asked what kind of protein i use... i just noticed it. I went awhile with out using the computer .. How is it going did you ever find a protein that worked for you? I used Visalus.
