Just starting

Options
Hi, my name is Gina and I just joined My Fitness Pal today. I have been overweight the majority of my life and have tried every diet known to man. I would be successful for a little while and then return to my unhealthy eating habits. I am 43 years old and suffering for not being more vigilant about my health. I have diabetes and high blood pressure. My knees are giving me a fit. My doctor recommended this site to me and I am so happy that she did. Of course, this site offers nutrition and exercise advic. The tools that i have seen like the food journal are wonderful. I am hoping that others on this site will provide support, understanding and advice and I can provide the same to them. Good luck everyone.

    Logged on for my 25th day today, and I have to say this is one of my most favorite sites of all time. down 10 lbs in about a month, expecting to slow down but hey you never know.

    Good luck with all of your weight loss! I consider it a change of life. Remember to stay strong even when you are sitting in front of whatever you love to eat!
