Hi My name is Melika. My sister told me about this site, so I figured why not give it a try. I am over my calories for the first day. lol So I need to exercise to make up for it. I want to encourage everyone to not give up. We can do this!!!! I live in Naperville btw. I am 33 and i have a 7 year old son. Hoping to get in shape by the summer. Good luck.

    Yep, you just have to do it! I have to "beat" myself every morning to exercise; then I feel soooo good afterwards.

    Welcome,

    I notice that you said you were over on your calorie intake. You may want to increase your calories. I increase mine to 1600 calories. if you need to know how to do so let me know :)

    Welcome! I think you'll like MFP. It helps that your sister is on here too. My sister and I do it together as well. We are each other's biggest motivators and each other's biggest enablers (not sure if i spelled that right!). Anyway, the best thing about MFP is that you have to be responsible to yourself here. But the support and encouragement you will get is amazing! The tracking is easy. Just be honest with yourself. Only you will suffer if you aren't! As far as being over on your calories, you might need to change it. It had me at 1200 calories, and that was WAAAYYY too low for me. I was consuming close to 2200 calories in a day. I just went in and changed it to 1500. For me that is still low, but more realistic. Good luck on this journey! Its the best gift you can give yourself! Plus being around for you 7 year old now and in the future is pretty special too!
