:O :O :O thats INSANITY!!! good for you!!!!

Ah, well I think I will take that as a compliment :) And I read the post, super informative

woah thanks guys. lots of great insight. I really have to try spinning :)

PS, anyone go to New York Sports Clubs?

Hi! I'm Katy! I'm 18 and live in the Upper West Side, but sometimes I stay with my dad in Long Island City, but I go to school in downtown brooklyn. I'm basically all over the subway map. Glad I found a group dedicated to the best city in the world :)

what do you mean? based on my pictures?

Thank you so much! I will cook one of these this week! Gotta start out somewhere, right?!

Haha I definitely have a sweet tooth, and I didn't even realize it until reading over my MFP food diary today. However, most days aren't always like this,

Oh definitely. I need some good recipes that are simple, healthy and filling. And simple.

NY is the best! added :)

I'm still living at home and my mom takes eating dinner together very seriously. Unfortunately, 3 days a week we either order or go out. It's a terrible habit, and I should probably make it a goal to cook my own dinners.

Wow! I think I'd have to sit down and really understand exactly what you're saying haha. It said my TDEE is 2564, so I should really be eating above 2000 calories a day?!

do i literally bring measuring utensils to the restaurant?

added! :)

Zumba is an amazing work out. I actually have NO coordination, but I still have such a great time. As long as you move and sweat, that's the point. You don't even need to learn the moves! I look like a complete idiot every class.

working out every day for an hour is just not realistic for me! And I know enough to know that strength training builds muscle which helps burn calories!

Extremely helpful! Thank you so much :D

What about now?

I noticed this in many chain restaurants! I live in New York City, so most restaurants here are independent and don't list the calories. Luckily, they do list calories in chains such as starbucks and panera, etc.

It's not my first day trying to lose weight. It's just my first day on this website. How about some support?

Just made my food/exercise diary public! thanks.

Did you just not eat carbs?

Measuring is so inconvenient! How do I measure when I'm in a restaurant?

I'm 5'3 and about 170! I think we have similar goals :) I'm looking to lose 25 pounds, and considering i've NEVER been able to lose even just 10 on my own, I could use some short girl support :)

The title should say LOOKING, not ooking. :p
