I could use some help and buddies

I have had this app on my Android phone and I've been using it religiously since Easter weekend but only recently started poking around the web site so this is my first post because I feel I have one more thing that I can contribute to everyone else's good advice.

What I feel goes hand in hand with portion control is how often you eat. I had a rather modest weight loss goal but I achieved it with the help of this app, a 30 minutes per day, a three day a week, workout routine with my Xbox Kinect (I'm a video game junkie....go figure a video game helped me loose a little weight :-)) and just as important was eating often. Find nutritious snacks that you can munch on and eat a little every few hours. My favorite snack is raw almonds and raisins, good stuff.

Good luck and don't expect the weight to go all at once, set a modest pace for weight loss and "just keep swimming".

Hello Pat! I'm new on here too and I'm am so glad to be with "like" people! WooHoo! :flowerforyou: Love the smilies too! I just sent you a flower.

I'm going to try focusing on this everyday to help me stay focused. I forget that I'm trying to accomplish a weight loss until the day is over. I've put on about 25 pounds this16 months--miserable and then eat more. Yes, I'm pathetic. I'm also recognizing portion control also because I'm absolutely terrible with it.

I've set a very present goal that I want to do 1.5 miles in 20 minutes--that's walking and running. And I'm doing that distance at least once a day. I may do more distance but I at least do that. And I purchased a kettle ball today- I've wanted one for sometime so today was the day. :bigsmile: I've got to adjust my thinking...it wasn't always this way--spending 14 dollars for this used to be too expensive but I could buy ice cream and double dip ice cream cones....now, that's affordable:laugh: Hopefully, we'll write each other through our progress! Best wishes, Okrabug.
