Hi,
I am 61 years old with goal to lose 83 lbs. I just found FITDAY by accident on the internet and this software is wonderful :) I am able to put the foods I enjoy eating in the custom section and I was amazed of what I was eating and the fat content.

The hardest for me is the exercise and I am trying to increase that. I have rheumatoid arthritis but I am trying to go with the Mantra "No Excuses".

My first week I started at 233 lbs. and now weight 228. Lost 5 lbs. Yeah:) Unfortunately been there, done that many times before but this program is opening my eyes and I evaluate each day to see what I can change to make things healthier. Walked yesterday in 30 degrees loaded down with heavy jacket and snow pants, gloves, ear muffs etc. and walked 3 miles. Did I tell you I live in the Ice Box of the Nation :)

Anyway I will be checking back to the discussion boards to get tips and encouragement from all your entries.

Good morning and welcome to FitDay. Congrats on the loss thus far! I'd strongly recommend being active on the forums as there is a great group of motivational people here to help you along.:D

Welcome aviscr, it is never too late to have a "first day of the rest of your life moment". I have been here a month and will never forget my first day that I acheived the 100% RDA by food alone.
If you have the time look at the "Best of series", full of information. As well, generous, supportive fitdayers.
So small steps and one day at a time will instill healthy habits for a lifetime.

Hi !
I've just visited this forum. Happy to get acquainted with you. Thanks.
