    Hi from Edmonton, Alberta--almost 29 years-- originally from Hamilton, Ontario. I just started with MFP on December 31, 2012 and I know I have a long way to go--extra large, very short, great gramma. I got injured in 2011 and it took almost almost a year to heal but during that year I went to the Weight Wise Clinic and they got me started keeping a journal so the MFP food log is just fantastic and I don't have to do all the work of looking up the calories. My biggest problem is to get motivated to do some exercise. I have a brand new treadmill in my dining room --facing the TV in the livingroom--L-shaped--but I just cant get started. I couldn,t use it in the beginning because my injury was to my leg but that is now healed and I think I am just making excuses to myself-- I have the calories under control now I need some exercise--any suggestions? Please add me as a friend.

    Just try walking during a half hour TV show. Once you get started it's easier to keep going, after a couple weeks you'll really be able to tell the difference in your mood. & a great thing about exercise is for me at least I find it makes me crave healthier foods! it all goes hand in hand. The best way to create a new habit is choose a trigger (in this case choose one of your favourite daily TV shows, or start a new series on DVD and pick a time to be the trigger).
    I'm from Edmonton too and if the nice weather keeps up you could also walk outside if the area you live in is cleared of ice. So refreshing. There are also walking/hiking groups you can join on meetup.com if you need the accountability of a group setting.
    Good luck!

    Vancouver (Kitsilano) BC) - I love that you are a Canadian looking for friends and your pic is of hockey - I am not sure why people stereotype us! Add if you like.
