Hi there
I am a working woman and my job is a desk job not lot of moving.
I have been trying work outs for past couple of months, though haven't seen huge difference.I figure need to watch what I eat too...
Hope all the cool tools here help me track things...My goal for first five weeks is to get rid of 10% of my body weight :)

    My advice would be to cut out all sodas and sugar drinks... TODAY as been 2 weeks since i've done it and its been water everyday and maybe 1 or 2 unsweetend teas... Leave all the sweets alone and choose healthy foods... I cant tell you what kind because we all have different taste... What time do you get off of work? You could go to the gym or you could go for a walk around your neighborhood.. Keep us posted on how your journey goes.. :bigsmile:

    Thanks all of you for responding!
    @ krystleRD, Thanks for input I finish my work about 4.30-5 and head right to work out...I try to do 45 mins cardio 3 days a week and 1 day a week strength training...I need to lose whole bunch of weight but I am braking down my goals and taking a phased approach 10% is my phase 1, and reward will be new jeans :)

    Again thanks all of you guys! I will make sure to keep posting my updates!
