in Introduce Yourself
Just at the Doctor's on Friday for my checkup. Blood work looks good, triglycerides still a little high and I have only lost 6 lbs. since August 1 despite 5x weekly workouts. Dr. told me to try this site and it is awesome - super easy to use, easy to add foods (even has Wegmans items - my favorite supermarket). Looking forward to see how this all looks on paper and whether it translates into lost pounds. Tried WW before and lost 17 lbs. but was too tired and hungry. I like to run and am training for 1/2 marathon in the Spring and the Doc said I need to eat more food to fuel those runs. Keep you posted. :heart:

    Welcome!!!

    I found adding as many friends on this site as possible is the key to my motivation. They push me when I need, look over my diary to keep me checked.

    Good thing about this site is as you exercise and add in those calories you need to eat them (as you did WWPoints)

    That is the key to not getting too tired and hungry.

    You'll see as you add your exercise, your caloric number will rise. Be sure you listen to your personal MFP program. They know what they are doing. =)

    Thanks for the tips! I hate being tired or hungry. It makes me cranky for my husband and kids. I like to feel just about full and enjoy having energy to work out.

    Welcome to MFP. I think that if you follow the goals that are set out and are honest about tracking what you eat you will have success here. Feel free to add me as a friend if you wish.
