in Introduce Yourself
I'm new to myfitnesspal and I'm looking for others that are athletes and just looking to shed some extra weight and track their eating/exercise habits. I've learned a whole lot in less than a week! I would exercise and exercise and not shed weight and I couldn't figure out why it was getting worse with time. By looking at the types of foods I'm eating, I'm learning that the biggest obstacle is my mind! I figured as long as I worked out, I could eat whatever I wanted...not so!

    Triathlete here also!! You can exercise all you want but if you don't pay attention to the eating/ nutrition you'll never lose! Good luck!

    Calories burned vs Calories eaten does play a huge role in weight loss. This site will help with that for sure, welcome.

    I was definitely similar to you. Through MFP I've identified a healthier weight that I should be aiming for so that I can perform better in sports. I also eat much better now. It's a very useful tool.
