in Introduce Yourself
*waves* Luckily I've got almost two years. We're having a long engagement. My Maid of Honor and I are going to the gym together and dieting as well. I'm loving the app so far. It helps when I have to grab food from work. I was never good at counting calories on my own.

    2 years is good as is a whole life to apply the principles of healthy living.

    Thanks. I am looking to make several changes in my life. I shouldn't let myself sit and rot and be unhappy when I have so many good things going on in my life. Building new and healthier habits may be hard but I really think I can do it if I just stick with it.

    just start by logging exactly what you eat... it puts your intake into PERSPECTIVE! :noway:

    Acquire a small digital kitchen scale and measuring cups... that also shows u portion size and so on.

    you'll get into the groove in no time.

    Yeah, I think the biggest thing is I have to stop eating when I'm bored. I've taken up knitting and crochet, which is actually helping with that. I'll work on making something while I watch TV rather than sit down with a big bowl full of something fattening.

    I just got engaged in November, but we are getting married in August! We are actually working out together 2-3 times per week in addition to what I am doing on my own.

    Congratulations on your engagement!
