    Well, today is July 23, 2013. Someone told me about this site so I tried it out and here I am. My first day. I hope to have many many more days on this site with increasing successes. Today I added all of what I ate and it said I am 660 calories over my goal for the day. This is at 2pm. Depressing. I see this is going to be like climbing up a steep wall to get out of the hole I've dug for myself... but I'm here to try.

    It gets easier to stay within the goal, One thing I have learned is to eat your filling foods first, veggies, and fruit will have lower calorie counts so you can eat a bit more of them and feel full. Also drink lots of water! I always try to drink my body divided by half in fluid oz of water...Im 150 lbs so I drink 75 fl oz a day. I hope that helps!

    Feel free to add me I can be supportive.... my husband also works a demanding schedule and has a physical job so I dont ask him to work out with me.... I have found a ton of support here on MFP.

    My mom and dad are the same way. My Dad stands on his feet 8 hours a day. He doesn't workout with us. So I supported my mom and she is in the 440's( used to be 527) . She did it for her kids.

    I think what you and your mom are doing is amazing and congrats to her for her amazing progress thus far!!! Keep it up!

    My situation is about the same, my kids are teenagers and my husband works a physically demanding job 12-14 hours a day. I have finally decided my motivation was doing this for ME! I am tired of looking in the mirror and seeing "what I let happen". I want to look in the mirror and see "what I am creating". It's not even so much about losing weight of being "skinny" but about being "healthy". Both of my grandmothers died of heart related problems within 24 hours of each other and with those genes, at age 47, it's time to take care of business. It's tough, I struggle, but I make myself get up and do it. I run on a treadmill 3 days a week doing the C25K program and then do something else at least one day a week. I have good days and bad days when it comes to the diet. I have been using MFP for just over a month I have lost 5 lbs, really 7.5 if you count the 2.5 I regained on vacation and re-lost. Every day that I am doing it is making me better, more fit, and healthier.
