edited September 22 in Introduce Yourself
I'm new to this online weight loss thing. Thought I would try something different. So far, I've noticed that keeping a journal of food intake and exercise really makes me more aware of what I'm doing. Hopefully this will give me the motivation that I need to continue. Just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully meet some wonderful people that I an relate to, encourage, and be encouraged by. Hope everyone meets their weight loss goals!! Good luck!

    Welcome! This site truly is great! When people ask me about it, I always tell them that it's about knowledge and awareness. Being knowledgeable about the food you eat and aware of portion size and preparation. I think that knowledge and awareness about the food that goes in your mouth is an excellent incentive to eat better. I look forward to seeing you meet your weight loss goals as I'm certain that you've chosen the correct online weight loss site to facilitate your journey. :)

    Let me tell you, if you stick with this site, it can become addicting!! I'm a facebook junkie and this is in close running with that. It's like anything I put in my mouth, I want to make sure I log on and record it. I've never really been this dedicated to keeping a food journal or documenting my exercise. I mentioned before that I'm not trying to get skinny or "fit in" just to be healthy. I figure that once I drop the weight and once I begin my career in nursing, I'll be able to encourage somebody else. That part of my life will be a testimony for somebody else. So... stay encouraged and take advantage of all the useful tools and friendly people on this site! :)
