Hi i'm new to my fitness pal and to my diet , I have manged to gain almost 100 lbs in the last 4 1/2 years and its time that I get back to my self

I have been going to gym and using this site for the last week and i love it it is a great tracker but i am lacking the motivational pals ,

    I have to say congratulations on choosing to live a healthier lifestyle. Committing yourself to this journey. It's going to be a rollercoaster but it's well worth it. You deserve to be happy. I would love to support you on this journey.

    I also would like to give a few suggestions. Somethings that I have experienced through out my journey. When I first started I wanted to just drop the weight. I was like it has to go now. I was so scale dependent. Along my journey it has become so much more than that. Figure out the why. Then make realistic goals and do your best to achieve them. Don't be scale dependent because the scale does not know what is going on in the body. Take before pictures and measurements. Eat as best as you can. Don't deprive yourself but don't go overboard with things you like. Just a few tips and suggestions. I wish you all the luck on your journey! You can do it!
