It's good to have goals! One of my goals is simply monitoring. I had no clue how many calories I was eating on a day to day basis, chiefly because I have always had a job that involved lots of walking, lifting, etc; so I could eat lots and never notice it. But now that I have a desk job, I need to keep track of those…

the Netherlands! :)

Welcome to MFP! Request sent :)

Welcome and good luck! I ended up here by ways of the mobile app, too (I love the app!). Feel free to add me if you want. And good luck making those changes!

My hat's off to all of you single moms out there!

Absolutely. My life is a breeze compared to some of you. I tip my hat to all of you multitasking heroes!

Some very crush-worthy women on MFP!

Not sure about the calories, but I think I once lost 10 pounds of water (as sweat) in a death metal moshpit. Have fun!!!

I'm in! Just the right time, I've got about 9 kilos (20 pounds) to go!

Here's an idea.. Maybe you should pick a wedding dress and make that your goal :) I bet your daughter will be proud and inspired when she hears her mother succesfully faced her issues :) Feel free to add me!

Welcome! I'm pretty new too and I'm already loving all the support. No matter how different people on here are, we all want to be healthier. So feel free to add me!

If you want something and you persevere - you can do it, whatever the obstacles!!! Feel free to add me for support. Let's get you into that uniform!

Also, the way I understand it, if you've been doing strength exercises you need nutrients to help build muscle tissue (proteins, I think). Bit weird that MFP doesn't count calories for strength exercises, though.

I know how hard it can be to motivate yourself to exercise. Best of luck to you and feel free to add me!

Keeping it up after the initial results is the hardest... Making long-term, stable changes isn't something you decide in a weekend! Feel free to add me :)

Welcome and good luck! Feel free to add me. By the way, if you have a smartphone I highly recommend downloading and using the app. It makes tracking your food an exercise so much easier, especially if you're as forgetful as I am :ohwell:

Thanks for the heads up. And thanks for wishing me luck - I wish you the same! :)

Whoops. Didn't want to tread on any toes there. I'm sorry - what I was trying to say was that I want to take control now because in the long run it's only going to get harder.

Welcome and good luck! I've found the calorie counting very insightful. And the mobile app really, really helps me to track my food and exercises.

Thanks! I've already lost 1 kg, I need to keep it up (repeats this 1000 times) :)

Thanks for the kind words and the support! I take it you love cycling ;) I've been planning to get my old racer bike out from storage and start some touring when the weather gets better. I used to love making 30-40 mile treks.

Well, you have 1 more friend than I do. So feel free to add me :)
