Narivsa · May 2014

If you wish to add me as a friend, please do or send me message. I will definitely need the support & someone to pull my ear or arm if I get off track

I have lost & gained for the past few years. but more gaining then loosing & now I'm like enough of this I need to make it this time. I need/want to lose approx 60-65lbs, so baby steps from here.

Advice & Tips are welcomed...I know for each person is different, but tell/share what worked for you?

Hello Narivsa! I'd like to start by letting you know that I am not a professional but I'd like to motivate you from by personal experience. Motivating other people is one way to motivate yourself so that's what I do the most :-D.
First of all, congratulations for making your first step! Starting is the hardest thing, from here now you just need to discipline yourself and stay focus!
This is a great app if you use it to your advantage. But to lose weight and be healthy at the same time you'll need more than just tracking your calories.
Try working out at least 30min per day or fit 3hr in a week. Whatever works best for your schedule. This helped me to discipline my self and now I am working out 2hrs daily.
If you need motivation I can help you :-D because I went to the exact same thing you did! Gaining and losing and not staying on top of my goal. But this time I will change my shape for the rest of my life.

Congrats again and I will be talking to you later if that's what you wish :-D.
