in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Stephanie, I'm 29, hoping to lose 20 lbs, and plan to do that using MFP and Fitbit, both of which I am loving after 2 weeks of using both! I'm a busy girl, commuting about 2.5 hours a day total, and trying to find time to exercise isn't easy. I'm finding that packaging and logging food the night before really helps and lets me budget well. My problem is the exercising, which is TOUGH for me. I also have a serious sweet tooth that's always trying to take me down. I read that a good amount of people on here have kicked their sugar craving entirely, which is awesome! However, I don't think I could ever say goodbye to chocolate or ice cream...

Just wanted to say hello! :-)

    I ordered a FitBit recently and can't wait to try it. I love my heart rate monitors and Sports Tracker Pro on my phone.

    Good Luck!

    Welcome aboard! This site really is a great tool for weight loss. I love seeing what I ate and how much fat and calories it adds up to. It keeps me in check and I have been able to resist over-eating so that I don't wast unneccesary calories. Good luck in your venture. We are all here for support! :)

    Snap, I also have a terrible sweet tooth, you can still have your treats but in moderation, EA sports Active 2 if you have Ninteno or Wi, I thoroughly recommend it, anyway best of luck and you'll get there.
