Hi... kinda new to the board

Hi. My name is kristin! and I'm 23 years old. I used to come to this board a couple of years ago. I'm trying to get back on track. I'm on summer break from college for the next three months so I think now would be the perfect time for me to get on track. Since I was last here I gained back all the weight I had lost, plus like 40 lbs. So now I'm over 300 lbs and I feel like total crap about myself.

For right now I'm just trying to stay around 1800 calories until I reach 275, then I'm going to cut calories again. If anyone is interested in journaling with me I'm all for it. I am also looking for a good webiste that has the amount of calories burned during a workout. So if anyone knows of any let me know, please.

Hopefully I'll get to know everyone one this board soon!

hello kristin, I am kristy! aka kristrin, not to be confusing!
so needless to say I like your handle.

I just returned with a gain too. What can I say except, its good to be back.
Already I am finding a bit of gusto to make a bit better changes in my day and considering how badly I was eating last week this is great.

nice to meetcha!

Hi Kristin, Summer is a great time to lose weight. I did that when I was in school and started the year looking and feeling great. (I gained it back once I got married.) I look forward to getting to know you during the next few months. sharla

Hi there and welcome back! For calories burned during exercise, my favorite website is:

www.caloriesperhour.com

They have an awesome list of activities, and you can even figure out how many calories you burn while sitting and doing nothing! It allows you to plug in your weight, height, sex, and age, so it's fairly accurate.

Hi Kristin and welcome! Glad you found us and will be here to make your weightloss journey with us! I too have come back after a hiatus and gained 40lbs!

I use www.fitday.com to calculate everything for me daily.

I wish you the best of luck and make sure you post often.
