in Getting Started
My journey to better health started a week ago. It hasn't been easy but I am determine this time to go in all the way. After obtaining my new career which required me to be at my desk more I gained a substantial amount of weight, which I am not use to at all. My previous job required me to move around more and spend less time at my desk, and I miss it so much. Now here I am fighting to loss the weight I gained and more, but I'm determine and I am going to get it done.

    Hi @spearce20

    Welcome to MFP!

    Have you had a chance to listen ok around and start to set up a plan of action?

    WoW we are in the same boat! I used to work a physical job last year and was getting 20k+ steps in a day plus all the lifting I was doing as well. Now I’m a bank teller and I do not take very many steps, maybe 4K on a good day at work. The bad part is I never changed my diet from when I worked at the old place so I’ve gained 30lbs since acquiring my new job.

    If you wouldn’t mind I’d like to support you on your journey! Congrats on getting motivated to start your new lifestyle.
