Ready to commit and need support!!

  • Hello all!

    I am so glad that I saw this site. I have been looking at posts on this site for a while and have finally gotten fed up with my weight. I am trying to start a new diet and exercise regimen but have no clue where to begin. I am starting today and am just trying to cut calories and eat more fruits, vegetables and fish. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    I am 24 years old and have been married for 1 year. I live in St. Louis, MO and I am a graduate student. I would love to have the support of a buddy that can hold me accountable and vice versa. I feel that if I am not going at this alone, I can definitely succeed this time! I am currently about 157lbs and have about 30 to lose to fit my 5'2'' frame.

    If there is anyone interested I would love to post or chat with you!

    Looking forward to talking!

  • Hi Hillary and welcome. If you've been reading a lot here at 3fc, you'll already know that there are lots of threads where you'll fit right in. Have you checked the Calorie Counters section or the Exercise forums?
  • Calorie Counters
    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply. I went to the calorie counters forum and found that some of you guys use FitDay!

    I have used the premium version in the past and just stopped. I was about to start again today. I really like the program!

    I will be posting to the calorie counters forum in the future as well as looking for a buddy. Thank you for pointing me in this direction!
