in Introduce Yourself
I am Cindy I just joing to myfitnesspal this week and I am so please to find out how easy is to get track of my meals. I allways tought that I did not eat that much until I started to record my food intake. I am a single mother and with all the stress that I live with, I needed a new motivation to lose weight. I been doing kickboxing for 8 months now and althoug I gained muscleand I had lost 10 lbs. I felt very dessapointed. I hope I can keep this motivation until I get to my goal.:) :)

    it's amazing when you learn the calories of certain things, shocking actually. I never would have guessed that a starbucks scone is 430 calories. Thats insane....... good luck

    Good luck with your journey. I have found MFP to be a great asset too. I am so glad my friends recommended it to me. I too was shocked to see just how much I was actually eating when I started keeping track. I am glad I have been able to adjust it.

    You will do great because of all the muscle. The more you have the easier it is.Also, age plays an important part. I am 60, so it has been a slow go, but this sis a great site. You will get support and make friends. My only advice is to log in daily.

    Good Luck. :smile:
