in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I'm new! I found out about this site from a video on youtube. I've only been at it for three days and i'm determined to stay with it! I'm 5'7" and just saw the scale hit 210lbs a few days ago, i knew i put on weight for the last 2 years but seeing that almost made me cry. My eating habits got crazy (sweet cravings and HUGE appetite) when I got on birth control then a few months later my knee went bye bye along with my workouts. I use to run 6 miles 5 days a week and weight lift, dabble with P90X after having a similar weight gain when i got on the Depo shot. Now it's rather depressing and horribly embarrassing to see all my hard work ruined. I pretty much stopped going out and doing things :(
So hopefully with MFP and some more P90x i can get back on track, just lookin around for some buddies!!

    Welcome to the site. I'm from St Cloud. If you use the site, It's great. Just be careful when you fall off the wagon to get back on as soon as possible.

    Welcome! I'm from St. Cloud (and hoping it doesn't rain next weekend so I can go camping). Myfitnesspal is a great site (I've lost ~28 pounds so far and have gotten down to the lowest weight I can ever remember) and I hope you have great success. I've been working on my running since Feb/March (in the cold/rain/snow) and I'm hoping to start Power 90 sometime next week.
