Hello there...my name is Wanda

For years I’ve been struggling with my weight. During my last year of college I managed to lose 30+ pounds, not for the good reasons…it was all school stress related. After grad school I started seeing my now 6 years partner and it’s been great…including dining experiences. I am a very particular eater. Before I met her I ate not a single vegetable; now I am proud to say I added a handful to my diet (broccoli, asparagus, corn, kale, chard, snow peas, cauliflower, mushrooms…)

With all the very good, but very rich meals, and the lack of exercise on my part, I have gained back all those 30+ pounds in 6 years :-(

I recently lost my job, so I am at home all day…on my pj’s or other similar comfortable pants, sitting in the couch, or doing some work…damn those elastic band pants! I decided to check my weight the other day and I was alarmed, to say the least, by my weight! I ran out that same day and joined the gym and started to change my diet that same day. Then I found this fabulous website! I have always been very skeptical of things like this…tracking what I eat and all that stuff…not for me. But I find it so easy and fun to do it here…and I can do it from my phone too! It has been a week and a half, and even though I don’t see much difference yet (although my gym trainers does…maybe he was just being nice), I feel good about myself already. I’m changing my eating habits, exercising every day, cutting on the number of beers…that’s been hard ;-) But I just have to do this! I feel motivated and very excited about these changes, and looking forward to the results!

Now off to the gym!
