in Introduce Yourself
Hey Everyone

Just wanted to introduce myself. LOVING myfitnesspal app for iphone. Id already lost 50 lbs this yr and hit a plateau at about 181 lbs .. even with a personal trainer!

I downloaded Myfitnesspal on the recommendation of a friend at the beginning of november and have lost 15.4 lbs this month alone!!! Its crazy how much tracking calorie intake and exercise can make a huge difference!

I learned to drop milk from diet PRETTY QUICKLY and substitute it with unsweetened almond milk ... so thats a tip for everyone ... as soon as I did I saw the pounds shed.

Would love to make some new friends on here so feel free to add me on the app!! username nikita_a

Hoping everyone the best of luck in their journey to becoming healthy and fit!!!

    yeah its crazy ... I really had no idea how much sugar, carbs and calories were in milk ... blew my mind when I actually looked .. and here I was thinking it was healthy ... almond milk actually tastes better than milk I find anyway! So its a win win :)

    Hey ... almond milk in uk not too sure but no rice milk is not the same ... i imagine rice milk to be high carb? as rice is high carb .... they'd better have almond milk in the uk bc Im moving there this summer hahah and I will be shattered if they dont! give me a moment to do some research and I'll get back to you!

    not sure where in UK you live but I do see you have wholefoods stores over there I'd call ahead and ask if they carry ... has to be unsweetened
