in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm new here...

Basically joined the gym a while ago because me & the boyf split up & I found myself on my own after 5yrs with endless amounts of time to kill, so I thought I'd better start using my time positively (instead of getting drunk and smoking endless amounts!) and now I've well and truly got the fitness bug!

I weighed myself last Tuesday and was at 128lb. Been working really hard all week, so fingers crossed when I weigh myself tomorrow (after bodycombat & circuits at the gym!!) I'll see a difference!

Started logging my food on here today. Gone slightly (2pts) over on protein as I had chicken for dinner but my calories seem to be way under, I've had around 950 calories but I have eaten well today. Guess it's a good excuse a little treat later though!

Anyway, thanks for reading :smile:

    Thank-you :) just getting used to it all. Seems funny to have to log when I have a banana or apple or cup of tea!!

    Hey! Welcome to MFP - Im pretty new to it aswell, dont worry about being 2g's of protein over! thats nothing! Instead of logging as soon as i eat something I either plan my day in advance or wait untill the evening and log everything ive had up to then. Would get sick of it and not bother logging things if I done it any other way - Feel free to add me for some motivation, I could do with it too!

    Hi sindy,
    I've started today and also find it really strange to log everything. Still, it's good to see what I'm actually eating as it will help me cut down on fats etc. good luck to you and wish you well :-)

    Yes don't mind logging everything just seems a bit bizarre!!

    Not been to gym today as worked 12hrs so missing that :cry: & would like to be able to put something in the exercise bit instead of just the food bit!!

    Still, going to try and get a good nights sleep tonight so I'm ready to go for it tomorrow!!
