in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am new to this site, and new to this whole "getting fit" thing in general.
I have never been very good at exercising or eating right my entire life.
In high school, I ate whatever I wanted and never worked out, but I was still very thin.

After high school, my poor habits caught up with me and I gained about 45 pounds in 3 years. YIKES!

I am looking for friends on here to help encourage each other. Please add me! I'm sure we could all use a little encouragement from others who are in the same position and trying to navigate this whole weight loss thing :)

    hiya & welcome. i'm from IN too! it's hard being healthy here where there is more fast food concentrated areas than most other places in the country ( i read that on msn once ).

    i find it's all about getting into the habit of logging and in doing so you become more conscientious about the decisions you make for food and exercise. stick with it! you can do it.

    i sent an add request :)

    Feel free to add me. I had a similar situation (although I was never skinny). Once I stopped playing football after high school, but kept eating like I was, I gained a net of about 100 lbs over the next few years. I've gotten most of it off now and am working for those last few stubborn pounds.
