in Introduce Yourself
Hi, i joined here a few months back but never really used it. I feel with a bit of a supportive network (and the guilt of knowing people can see what i eat) i might finally be able to get the best from this app.
i have recently started my dream job, and dont want to be the fat new girl! Im 26 tiny 5ft1 and not certain of how much i weigh, but ordered the dreaded scales today that have been banned from my house for nearly 5 years!!! mother of 2 little men and this is finally the start of my career, but this means i have moved away from everyone i know and finding this hard to do alone!
Would love it if anyone is willing to add me so we can help each other along!

    don't use a scale to track progress. get a nice measuring tape and use that to take your measurements.

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: HI..... Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day..... Use Progresso soup cans for home weight lifting.... Write a list of your snack favorites and each week, eliminate one from your snack eating... Don't torture yourself or weigh yourself a dozen times a week.... You are creating a new life style.... so... Let it happen.... and feel like YOU are in control .... Best wishes.

    I totally understand!! I just got a new job that I'll be starting in February which includes a move back to my home state and my family. I was always the "skinnier" of the women in my family, but I can't claim that any longer. My new job will entail being out and about a lot, so I need to get some of this weight off and get moving.

    The inches scare me way more than the pounds!
    I weigh myself every other week or so. Just now took measurements, after almost to my goal weight... Which made me realize I need to workout more!

    I just joined yesterday, this is a lot easier to use than the everyday food counter. This is my year! But I said that last year too :-D But I'm not giving up.
