College Senior Making a Change

Hey everyone,
Today is my first day with MyFitnessPal and so far I'm very impressed. I usually don't make poor food choices at home because I make a point not to buy sodas or sweets. If they aren't there, you can't eat them. But I keep Special K in the cabinet for cravings.
My problem is Sonic drinks before class and eating out after work because I'm tired and don't want to cook.
I have spend most of the last four years focusing only on school and it has put my 30 lbs heavier than I was in high school when I played soccer all the time.
I know that I have a family history of obesity and I'm ready to make a change now. So, HI and I hope to get to know some of you soon.
Courtney

    Good luck! I started this at the beginning of 2ed semester, junior year. I'm so happy that i won't look back on this semester and wish I'd done things differently!

    Hi and Welcome!:flowerforyou: I'm also in college and have a husband and a son. I totally get the convenience of take out. You can still have take out, just make healthier choices. Next time your out, grab a nutrition menu and follow the recommended guidelines here. You can do it!!!
