in Introduce Yourself
Hello I am new to fitness pal. I am a 22 year old female. My height is 5.2 and i weight 166 lbs. I just started working out last week and for the first time in a year I weighed myself today. I have never been this overweight in my life. I am feeling really down and I need some help and motivation. I gained almost 20lbs in one year. Its been a tough year and I let myself go.

Its time i got healthier and I want to drop the extra weight before I start to tone up. If anyone has some workout suggestions for burning calories Id appreciate it. Any easy to make healthy meals. Im not a very experienced cook but I cant continue to eat out and be healthy. Just tell me whats worked for you.

If anyone wants to be my fitness pal to help me stay motivated and on track.

Thanks

    Hi I have been growing for years and now it has to stop I have osteoarthritis in my knees, hips, feet ,back and hands I now have to use a stick to walk. You could ask what other motivation do you need,but it just happens and becomes visious circle. I have decided that because I have no controls over portion sizes and what is healthy and what is not I am trying Dietcheif. I have only been on it for one day and I haven't been able to eat all the extra calories that I need. You don't have to think about potion size just what to put with it and using this site you can scan in bar codes of foods and know how much you can eat its great. I know how much I weighed last Saturday and I will weigh in this Saturday and I bet there is a difference. Give something like this ago there is lots of different food and snacks like popcorn. Why not give it a go then you can start to exercise do one thing at a time,start to diet with easy food then start exercising. Your young and you have made the first step be coming on here ,me I'm 56 soon to be 57 better late than never lol good luck look forward to hearing about your success.

    Can I please be your fitnesspal friend? I haven't been careful with my weight either and it's gotten a little out of hand. I need to start staying on track, but its hard because no one can know that I focus on my weight so much or else they'll think im anorexic. its frustrating when my parents keep cooking and buying unhealthy food even when I ask them not to. then they buy "healthy" name brand food that isn't really healthy.

    I also binge eat and end up feeling really sick afterwards like i want to puke really bad but i dont because thats not good.

    I just need to lower my calorie intake and it gets harder because my school cafeteria doesnt have anything healthy and i dont have time to make a lunch. Plus my friends make a big deal if i dont eat a lot
