Hi everyone, I’ve used my fitness pal in the past, and by use I mean it was downloaded on my phone. That’s it. I recently gained some weight and I now weigh 150lbs. To me it’s a big deal because my “usual” weight is around 125-130. It started when I was on a medication that I no longer take. My clothes don’t fit, and I just feel like I’m looking at a stranger in the mirror. I don’t really know what to do on this app.

    Welcome! The best thing to do when starting out is to develop the habit of logging what you eat, the good and especially the bad. The numbers will give you an objective view of your daily habits and you can start making smarter decisions, or at least you can see how your not-so-great decisions affect your body.

    Good move! Go to the GOALS page and log in what you are trying to accomplish. Start logging what you eat and your workouts. Be honest! You will start to see patterns, where/when you are eating too much, when you aren't working out, etc. I used the one-month premium free trial and started keeping track of my macros (carbs, fats & proteins) and began to meal plan to meet a specific goal. It's like a puzzle every day. It can be a real pain in the *kitten* and takes a lot of discipline, but I lost seven pounds in the first week and have been cruising. GOOD LUCK.
