Hi

Hi to you all!

Just want to say a quick hello and tell you reason why i have started using this site....,

I have always thought the way to lose weight was to eat less and exercise more (input vs output) but recently I have been educated that if you eat the right amount of calories per day for your weight/height/age combined with regular exercise this will help aid weight loss! I found that was eating too few calories each day for the amount of exercise i was doing.... which I am told is causing my body to go in to starvation mode, therefore making it harder for me to lose weight. I have always been able to maintain my weight but i find it extremely hard to lose weight so I have decided to use this site to keep track of my calorie intake and log my food and exercise and maintain a steady diet that with provide weight loss.

I need motivation to get out of the habit of thinking that if i eat less i will weigh less...and that it's ok to eat more ( healthy of course) if i am exercising. If anyone has any food or fitness tips I'd appreciate any help and feel free to add me!

Good luck to you all!

Amanda
