in Introduce Yourself
I’m new here. Looking for some friends for mutual accountability and motivation! I’m a 27 year old female. I live in CO with my husband and dogs. I work from home and the scale has slowly been creeping up so it’s time to get that in check.

Looking forward to connecting!! :)

    Cliffs Notes of Weight Loss:
    • small, sustainable changes
    • Understand weight fluctuations are normal. Thinks of a roller coaster, not a steep mountain slope down. Some weeks up, some weeks down. Its the OVERALL TREND that matters
    • Learn to weigh your food ON A FOOD SCALE
    • Learn how to find ACCURATE DATABASE ENTRIES
    • BE ACTIVE - get off your butt and MOVE. Find SOMETHING you enjoy. If your activity is limited, find ways to move that you are ABLE to do
    • Deprivation is the key to Binging and falling off the wagon. Learn how to fit your favorite things in regularly. There are no 'bad foods' Just 'bad quantities'.
    • One 'bad' day will not undo your deficit.
    • You did not gain the weight quickly. You will not lose it quickly. Better to lose it slowly, and KEEP IT OFF, then lose it quick, and gain it all back and more!

    I dont care if you add me, but I will warn you, I am not the friend for everyone. I am very supportive, and off and on all day, so see most things, but I swear like a sailor and ramble incessantly about my life, and not just about diet and weight crap. I have an awesome group of friends who are pretty much the same. You are welcome to board to crazy train and hop off if you so choose. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/callsitlikeiseeit

    I’m new too. I’m a little older from the Midwest. I have 3 dogs and a husband. I thought when I retired it would make taking care of myself easier but the scale over the last 3 years is creeping up so, I’m guessing bad habits are developing. I believe in baby steps. What are some baby steps you’re doing? I’m trying to get back to drinking my right Amt. of water every day and walk at least 15 min every day and 40 min. At least 3 times a week. Also researching macros tracking but not really there yet.
