in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I have been using the site for about 2 weeks now, mostly from my iphone app, but want to take things a step further by adding some motivation and accountability.

I am 37 and a mother of 4. I work full time and usually have no motivation when I get home. My work has a decent Gym, so my goal is to start using it in the mornings before I start my day. Today was day one of that.

In addition to using this program, I synch the calories I track here with the BodyMedia Link which tracks my caloric output. My concern is whether I am accurately tracking what I put in my mouth, but at least I seem to be getting the first step down, which is the consistant tracking and recording of meal. Hopefully the accuracy will also come.

Please feel free to add me as a friend. :)

    Welcome to MFP! It sounds like you are starting with a good solid program for your journey.

    The only way to be sure you are accurately entering your food is to weigh and measure everything. Eyeballing is not as accurate. I will send you a friend request and we can support each other!

    Welcome! Feel free to add me if you like.

    I completely agree with nczuczu. You sound like you have a good, solid plan for your journey. Also, I measure as often as I can. A good digital food scale is worth it's weight in gold. :love:

    Good luck! And remember, you can do this!
