in Introduce Yourself
Hi, nearly completed 1 week...weigh in tomorrow!! Am finally starting to get the hang of the calories after eating too many :-( then too little think i'm starting to get there but not holding out much hope on the scales tomorrow! I Have found the kids just dance 4 great for my exercise, getting to burn some cals while having fun with the kids:-).

Any MFP friends would be a great support to keeping me motivated.

Happy calorie counting!

    Hi! My weigh-in day is Wednesday. I usually start off really well then lose motivation very quickly. Hopefully this time it will be different. I have Zumba for the wii which I intend on starting soon!

    I've been struggling to lose weight and keep it off the unhealthy way, now I'm going to try the healthy way!
    I lose motivation quickly, but I'm going to really try this time.

    How do you guys create that little banner at the bottom?

    You go to apps at the top and then clicker!

    I feel so much better in myself by eating well and exercising! I try and have loads of vegetables/salad and keep down on the sugary foods!

    It's brilliant that there are so many British foods in the database too!

    End of my 1st week tomorrow :)

    Feel free to add me too! It would be great to have friends just starting out.

    I'm not sure I will see any change but I am happy with keeping track of what/ how much I eat it has been a real eye opener!
    Lots more to learn.

    Good luck on your journey !

    Hi I'm in my first week and struggling with the calorie count too. I have become obsessed with the calories in food and can't believe the amount f calories I was shovelling down my throat! I have been walking everyday about 5k on average so far but it seems to be flaring up a back injury. Will stick with and hope it will improve as my fitness level improves. I've also go a Wii and am planning to do this a couple of times a week switching between just dance and Wii Zumba should help with the fitness levels. It's hard work but hopefully all worth it. Going to get weighed today as my scales are unreliable at home so hopefully my correct weight will be plotted each week.

    Add as a friend if you like as I share my food diary with friends and would appreciate people adding their food diaries for others to see to help me with meal ideas.

    Good luck!

    I too am almost a week in from my Restart

    I wish you all luck and would LOVE to have you guys as friends as support along the way

    I am totally honest on food diary and i think it helps for me to think if i don't want to add it i probably should NOT eat it xx

    It's a start and atleast you have gotten this far. I too am coming up to my first week using this website. It's pretty cool logging your food and exercise. I've got the bun and thigh machine and that's working real well for me. So far have lost 5 pounds. I'm hoping to make it atleast 8 pounds within the next 2 days :) Keep it up :)
