in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am new to this site and just figured I would take the initial plunge. Sometimes the first steps are the hardest. I work a full time desk job as a case manager and find it difficult to encourage other people to do something that I am not really doing so well with myself. So, I will be working quite a bit harder to lose a fair amount of weight and really embrace a healthier and subsequently happier lifestyle.

    well hello
    I started on Sunday and was shocked at the amount of calories I ate, have been really mondful of what I am eating and am really enjoying the food diary, to see how many calories things are.

    Good luck:happy:

    I can completely agree! Just today I looked at the calorie amount in my favorite tea and was shocked to see that it alone takes up about 1/7 of my calorie intake goal for the whole day! Holy cow! I have a lot to learn! :ohwell:
