New Member but old exerciser

lucyladybug Posts: 160 Joined: 2003/01/27	2003/02/14, 11:58 AM I am new to this website. I am a 25 year old female who has always been in shape all of my life until I went to college and gained the freshman 15. Now that I have graduated I am finding it very hard to eat healthy and loose the excess weight. I still exercise 5 days a week and I am eating very healthy 5 times a day. I need to loose about 10 more pounds and I will be at my ideal weight. Hopefully this website may offer me some insight as to how I can push past this plateau that I hav reached.

I've been lifting and running for a few years now and came to ft mostly for new ideas and to share my experiences. Been reading posts for a few weeks - it's good to see so many positive attitudes out there :)

It's amazing the little things you will see that add up when you track what you consume, and they equal...the last 10 lbs.
