in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am 26 and trying to lose 10 lbs! I work in fast food while I am in college so it's hard to maintain but I found quick exercises and have learned to make time to keep them. Anyone else trying to stay fit while working in the food service industry?!!! Let's keep motivated!!!!

    Hey @Sammie757, I work as a barista on and off campus so I totally understand! I'm trying to make time to workout by yoga, hula hoop dancing, walking/jogoing or lifting to vary it up since I get bored and have different time limits. (:

    I work at a Chick-Fil-A and I have been logging in all my food I mainly eat salads now! And I drink 3 cups of water before my shift. It's hard when you want a huge sandwich but then I remind myself of how bad I'll feel!

    I was exactly the same @Sammie757 ! Picked it back up a few months ago, but didn't stick to it again so this time, I'm trying to get more involved in the community here! Got to make it easier to stick with it right!

    I can easily see I'm working around food with make things difficult. I work in an industry where we off and got free food (not cooked) and even that could make life more difficult. I think if I was a chef it would be really tough.
