in Introduce Yourself
I've heard that for the last several years! I'm 5'11, 'former' athlete and currently overweight. I'm joining this site because my cousin joined several months ago and has nothing but great things to say about it and the community of people here.

Last year, when I turned 30, my metabolism went to crap and anything I could eat or thought about eating went straight to the bottom line. So... I'm trying to get back into fighting form... I love working out, so my biggest challenge is the nutrition... although- I know what I need to do- I just gotta do it!

SO- I'm hoping to track my progress continuously and not let a bad meal or day sabotage my entire plan.

As a friend told me- "How do you eat an elephant?" "Take small bites"... I'm going to use a series of little goals to start chipping away at this elephant residing on my shoulders and get my sexy back!

    Hey Janelle,

    For some really great nutrition information that's bang on, check out the Articles at www.precisionnutrition.com and www.johnberardi.com.

    I was referred to him by my own coach (Trainer of NHL players and other professional athletes) and she has seen him speak several times with rave recommendations.

    All the best to you!
