in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,
New to the message boards but I've used fitnesspal before and lost about 12 lbs last year. Of course I've gained it all back plus. My health has been not so good and I know I have to get in under control. I turn 38 on Monday but feel 60 so I'm on a quest to get my "youth" back....lol!!! I'm doing low calorie with moderate exercise until I can get back into shape. I need to lose about 30 lbs.

On a personal note I have a beautiful four year old son that keeps me busy. He is absolutely the love of my life.

Have a great evening,
Amanda

    Heya. This is my first time using fitness pal. I was using LoseIt on iPod and lost 17 lbs using that but fitnesspal is way better when it comes to food database.

    Good luck to you though. I noticed that low caloric intake is the key instead of working out too much. I worked out twice a week for two years and lost nothing. As soon as I started to monitor my calories, I've lost 17 lbs in five months. It's slow but at least I got results! lol
