in Introduce Yourself
Hello! 25 f trying to loose 31 pounds here. I started a new job in the last year and a half, that is mostly sitting on rear, compared to my old job where I was on my feet for 8+ hours a day constantly moving. So, as a result my rear has grown. I've decided to make a change and get down to my goal weight of 125. I'm 5'1, and the current weight sits at 156.4 as of today. My goal is to remain under 1300 calories a day and exercise 4 times a week at a gym. If you have any motivational input or tips they would be appreciated, as would friends! Thanks :)

    Hey :D

    I recently started using MFP, again, as the first time was unsuccessful. But with the aid of supportive friends and family members it has been easier this time around. I'm no expert when it comes to losing weight but what I've been doing has been working for me. I believe that something as simple as eating the right foods, at appropriate times and working out as well will definitely guide you in great weight loss.
    And whatever you do, try to stick to this. Counting calories helps so much more than a person thinks and in a matter of months, you will mentally be able to decide what's worth the extra 20 minutes on the treadmill or not haha without the urge or want to have that dessert!

    I used the tracker religiously about 2 years ago and dropped 15 lbs in 3 months. Figured if it worked for me them it'll work for me now. In 10 days I've lost 2 lbs.
