in Introduce Yourself
Hello My fitness pal's,

I'm new at posting my food, exercise and progress on a web site, but I'm really loving it. Been fat most of my life, and I always wanted just to be a normal size. I've tried many diets and failed each one with more weight to prove it. I do love to exercise, but feel tired and sometimes depress on how I look exercising. I am hoping for great positives things from myfitnesspal and look forward meeting new people with the same problems.

Thank you,

Tongo (Tonya Jenkins):flowerforyou:

    Hi Tonya,

    I just wanted to comment because I use to feel the same way. Don't worry about what others think if it makes you feel good and you enjoy it go for it...In the long run you won't regret it. I have changed my whole attitude towards myself and excersise. Good luck and wish you the best!!!

    Welcome to you!

    My lifestyle change actually began when I was invited to a Zumba class. I really didn't want to go and shake my tail in front of other people, but I reluctantly went... and fell in LOVE with Zumba! Just doing that class and making no dietary changes at all, I lost 10 pounds and 11.25 inches in two months. Then, I started to think of monitoring my diet and stumbled upon the app on my Droid phone for myfitnesspal. Joined and thus began a real life change.

    I wish you nothing but great results. You now have people on your side, any day, any hour.
