Just wanted to say Hello...

Options
Hi, my name is gennia, and I am about a week new to my fitness pal. I am loving it so far, and can not believe the amts. of calories, in alot of the foods that I eat. I never really paid attention to it, until now. My goal is to lose right at 60 lbs. and I need lots of encouragement. I tried for yrs all kinds of diets. and found that nothing really works for me. I am now seeing my Dr. and we are both working toward this goal. The good thing with starting this diet right now, is that it is garden time, and I will soon have all the fresh vegetable i can eat. We are just plain, country folk; so mostly country type foods for us.
I could go on and on, but as I said in the beginning subject: Just wanted to say hello..!!

    Hello there Gennia! My name is Stacey and I too have about 60 lbs I want to lose. I had a health scare a while back and just really want to be as healthy as I can be for myself and my 4 kids! I started working with a personal trainer and she is adamant about getting me where I need to be. I'm excited because I am still sore and i worked with her 3 days ago. I LOVE this calorie counter as well. Its great and lets me keep track as well. Its amazing how much every little "bite" adds up!
    I'm here for you! Hopefully we can lose this 60 lbs together! Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

    Stacey

Now before we eat anything, I'll say, wait I have to go check the calories. haha I would add you as a friend, but I don't know how yet:sad: Still very new to my fitness pal. Good Luck with your weight loss.
