hi everyone,

I'm a student that loathes working out but as a result has started a very bad cycle that will only get worse with age. I want to be healthy and feel like i look good again. I hit 150 lbs a month ago (I'm 5'4" and I used to weigh 115 when i was running 3 miles a day and dancing) and it put me into shock. I'm kinda lost with the food diary since things aren't matching my food lables but i'm sure i'll figure it out. This is only a ball park anyway. I just turned 25 and I want to look good and be thrilled with my body for my 26th birthday. Guess that's the short version of me, nice to meet you all.

    Hi!
    I'm also new, joined yesterday. Already loving the Food Tracker, really makes you accountable for what you eat all day! I'm also 5'4", currently 162lbs. I used to be very active @ 139 lbs (dancing & exercise), now i have 2 little boys and its hard to find time for myself. Trying to hit my goal weight of 135. I'm glad i've found a good support site.... :0)

    Thank you all for the support. Now that I finally am getting myself motivated I'm fighting feeling a little blue that I've let myself get out of shape so poorly. Ithas been YEARS since i worked out. I do love the food tracker and i also use mypramid.gov because that shows me nutritional balances in the 5 food groups. While there are differences between MFP and the other it helps me track trends and try to make sure my body is as balanced as possible.
