Hi everyone! :)
I am really excited to be here. I want to better track my food intake as well as progression of weight loss. I am in the process of joining the Army Reserves and only need to lose a few pounds to get in, but would like to lose a lot more to get back to the size I was happy with. Not to mention to become stronger and more fit! I definitely think this will help keep me on track and motivated. I look forward to talking with all of you :)

    Welcome, before we begin the tour let's go over some ground rules:

    1. Please use the search button at the top right before posting a question, 99% of the time the topic has been discussed at nauseum.

    2. do not, and I repeat, DO NOT misuse the words loose and lose

    3. do not voice your opinion if you get butthurt easily, because you WILL have your opinion villified.

    4. Never, ever state that muscle weighs more than fat

    but most importantly have fun and enjoy the ride!!

    Welcome! MFP is a great tool to loose weight, and the community is amazing. Some helpful hints:

    1. Friends are a must. Seeing everyone's progress and determination only strengthens yours!
    2. Just make a habit of logging everyday.
    3. Losing weight isn't all about losing weight, it's about teaching yourself to live healthier.

    If you're in need of friends don't hesitate to friend request me :)
