I started working out about 2 months ago but have not done much about my diet.
I originally gained over 30 pds in the last year and 1/2 ince I started a desk job.
I have lost only 5 pds so far (last 2 months) by workout alone. But I can tell i am loosing inches, i fit in pants that i coul not even pull up in February.
Anyway I noticed I was lossing my motivatiuon the last few days for the gym, I have decided to incorporate fitnesspal into to my routine to try and keep motivated and to start tracking my diet more.
Looking forward to dropping some weight!

    Gotta love those desks jobs eh? :grumble: I have a desk job too. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck. This site is awesome for tracking food, exercise and getting motivation. :bigsmile:

    Hi and Welcome!!!
    MFP really seems to be helping me....it is keeping me motivated and holding me accountable to logging my food intake (which is a biggie for me)
    Good luck! (:

    Welcome. I'm another one with a desk job. I'm fortunate that my employer has a gym on site so I can do quick 30 - 40 minute workouts on my lunch hour.

    Hi Jenny, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
