I am new

  • Hello My name is Savi. I am a Junior in high school. I am very active in my community. I work with the American Cancer Society, I am secretary of the local Key Club, I am a Sunday school teacher for 3-6 year olds, and I am a missionary during summers. This summer will be my biggest adventure yet. We will be going to Lima, Peru to help fix churches and orphanages damaged by last summer's hurricane and earthquake. This is going to mean lots of hard work and I want to be able to handle it, which means needing to be in shape. I am right now trying to lose weight and would love support.

  • I am actually not following a diet on this website, it is caloriecountplus.com, but it doesn't have support like here that's why I joined this site. I guess you could say I don't believe in diets(with my past experience of doing diets and gaining), The one I am on is more just an accountability site, tells you how many cals. you've eaten and how may you've burned. It helps me think before I eat and reminds me I need to exercise. That's the way I think diets should be.
  • Hey Savi!

    Have you visited our Calorie Counters forum? Sounds like the plan you're following is pretty close to FitDay, which is what most of our calorie counters used, and certainly if you're keeping an eye on your cals, that'd be a good place for you to start.

    Otherwise, hang out and find a spot. Congrats on your losses so far...can't wait to get to know you better.
