I have started logging in my food into MFP app and tracking calories. I am loving it. My first goal is to lose 50 pounds! I am pretty much sitting at my desk (since its IT job) with no exercise. I want to try zumba slowly. Does not want to overwhelm myself much as of now. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Wishing you luck!
    Even with a desk job you can fit in exercise! When you can take breaks or even at the desk(given your boss is supportive of the idea) be active!

    I love Zumba. Been doing it on and off for about 4 years, It's a class that doesn't take its self too seriously. Good luck

    Welcome!!! MFP is a wonderful site and the people here are very helpful and encouraging. I sit at a desk all day too (HR) but I make time for exercise in and out of work. Usually stand and do some squats or chair exercises. after work I walk, usually for 30-60 mins. You can do it!!!!!

    I lost 5 pounds in 1 and 1/2 months. I know it is very very slow process for me. But i am not giving up. I had not been exercising so far but just watching what i eat, logging into MFP. I had my bad days often specially on weekends! So I am happy i still lost pounds :) Now I have started exercising and walking since yesterday. I have joined orange theory fitness. Let's see how it goes :) Anyone with OTF experience?
