in Introduce Yourself
Hello all..I am a 32 year old mother of 2, and I am very new to the diet and exercise world. I have to lose the weight because diabetes find heavy on my family, and I do not want to be the next one to get it. So, all friends and support are very much appreciated. I'm in the process of figuring this all out so be patient with me. Oh, and is anyone here from the NYC area?

    I'm in Tulsa, and I'm new here too. This app and site really are helping me to watch what I eat. I'm down four pounds, so it's a good start. You can do it. I was 420 at my heaviest, now I'm 360. I think with this app, and the sports-tracker app, I've added a couple of really useful tools to help me get the rest of this weight off. Now, I'm off to run errands and then walk the dog at the park. If anyone else reads this and is on sports-tracker, please feel free to add me as a friend on either. Same name, Troyeee.
    Peace

    Hello there! I'm not from NY but my dad is from Schenectady! Grew up in Michigan - now just moved to Arisona! Joined myfitnesspal with a friend and we are doing really well - about a week now....I can't tell you how it has helped me stay on track by logging in all the food...It can be a little tricky navigating, but any questions, just ask me. If you put in food and it gives a quantity and you only ate a portion of the amounts they put in, you can change your serving portion....Such as if it says you had 1. and you only had half of what the portion size is, highlight the 1. and change it to.5 - it you had like 3/4 of 1. - put .75 - you need to play around with some of that, but I think I have it down pretty good. Hang in there, you can do it!!!! - Just signing on is half the battle (they say!)

    Welcome!!! :) If I can do anything to help you on your journey let me know. Have you heard of Advocare???
    I have and it is another pyramid rip off company hoping we will buy their products (they like to say Spark is special) because we want a fast and easy solution to our weight problems.

    Eating clean good food means not loading up on chemicals. Translation: no Advocare.

    I am also new to this site and is looking for people who is also looking for a change physically. I am a single mom to my son and is working fulltime and in school fulltime and need something/other people to keep me motivated. I've lost weight before in the past but just never maintained it so this time with the help of technology I wont have to do it alone. Oh BTW my name is Shar! lol
