in Introduce Yourself
I wanted to say hello. Started last week. So far, tracking has already made me to start thinking about everything I am about to eat. Have passed on a fast food dinner last night and chose better at lunch today. I have picked up 30 pounds in the last 2 years and need to get rid of them. However, a body at rest wants to stay on the couch. Hopefully MFP will help.

    Hi, glad you've decided to be healthier :happy:

    Make sure you ease into things. I can't tell you how many times I've jumped into a strict diet and exercise only to give up miserable and in pain. Start finding little ways to move more and get your body out of couch mode. Over time you'll want to push further. Don't deprive yourself of everything, but know your limits. Avoid any trigger foods. For example, I can eat pretty much anything in moderation but bring macaroni and cheese into the picture and all bets are off! Take your time and above all don't give up. The weight will come off eventually as long as you push through.

    I'm rooting for you and good luck!

    What's slappin', broski? I feel the same about the food diary. I'm almost afraid to eat badly just because I'd have to log it. Really helps. Good luck. Feel free to send a friend request if you'd like.
