Hello :)

I could use all the help that I can get to do something with all of this extra me, that's not good for me. I'm tired of carrying extras so Hello new world I could use some…

Hello!
I have been using the iphone app for a few days now (love it!) and thought I should come on here and say hello. About 3 years ago, I lost a whopping 5 stone through another website, which was great. The weight has stayed off. I am currently around 68kg. However, a new hobby I have fallen into is powerlifting! I am an…

Really motivated!
I am new here. My brother recommended this site to me. I talked my best friend into using it too. We both love it. I've been on similar food/exercise journal sites and nothing is like what I have found here. I love knowing how much I can eat each day. So easy to keep track of it here! I lost 15 pounds in five weeks,…

New to Myfitnesspal
Hi from Texas! I joined mfp 3 days ago in an attempt to get weight loss going again. I stopped losing on WW and even gained some of my 40 lbs lost back over the holidays. I'm looking to drop WW in May because I am not really getting the benefit from the $39.95 I pay each month. This is a great site! Love doing calories…

Hello, I'm back.. need some motivation :-)
Hi everybody, I'm not really new to MFP, kind of used it nearly all of 2010... and lost quite a few pounds. But well, with winter came the lack of motivation, so I haven't really logged in or done anything since last November. My scales told me yesterday that I gained nearly 6 kg - which is soooo unbelievably annoying and…

newbie to the site
I'm new to this site, and my dietician recommended it. The only problem I've run into is the the calories I can consume. I'm supposed to only consume 1800 calories, and 225 carbs...any suggestions?

Need motivators!
HI everyone! My name is Jennifer and have recently realized that my weight is starting to get out of control. To most 150 lbs is close to an ideal weight, but for me who has always been very thin, it's just too much. I've tried dieting (not my cup of tea) and I pretty much hate working out. I'm just so unmotivated. Please…

New to MFP!
I joined MFP a few days ago. My good friend told me about it and I along with another friend are all now here and helping each other. Hoping to use this sight to keep me motivated when it gets tough! Lost 3 pounds last week, but have been on a stay at home vacation and able to get to the gym daily. I go back to work on…

Just starting out
Hey guys, I've just reached "enlightenment"! I realized that my lifestyle was unhealthy, and that it would eventually kill me. Right now I am 18 years old, 5ft 11inches, and weigh 280 pounds. I'm going to college next fall and I want that to be at least 250 by then. My ultimate goal is 180lbs (which I think is healthy for…

New to Online, had the App
Hi everyone - I had this app on my phone and it was really great to have it right there whenever I had a meal or a snack, but I had to get rid of a bunch of apps recently, so I thought I'd see if I can get the same results online. I am a vegetarian, and trying really hard to motivate myself to start exercising - I used to…

Here I go...
Here I go, again. I am once again on a weight loss journey. I got up to 270 pounds. As I am only 5’4”, I am truly obese and not healthy in anyway. I lose my breath walking up stairs, have a hard time getting up off the floor, but worst of all, I am setting a bad example for my kids. I am divorced, and am ready to find…

But it is time for me to get serious about losing weight and living healther and I don't think I can do it alone, I've been trying to do it alone for years and all I've ever done is GAIN weight. Here is a bit about me: I'm 21. I'm…

Recent College Grad
So, lets just say life after college is somewhat...depressing. It's been about 7 months since I've graduated from UF and my life is nothing to brag about. Not only am I back home with my parents, but I have a job that has NOTHING to do with my degree and worst of all, I'm slowly putting on weight. I've accepted the fact…

Let's do this thing!
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I gained a lot of weight... but like, A LOT of weight... I have lost the big pounds so far, but it's those last 30 pounds that I can't seem to be able to get rid off :( Have been carrying them around for over a year and no matter what I do, they keep coming back! All I need is…

Hi....
Hey everyone, I have used this site on and off for a year, but also tried other diets, and I tend to start off well. Then, I either eat loads of rubbish, way above calories, or I give up the exercise. Now I have my wedding to slim for, need to lose approx 40lbs. I am hoping, now that the weather is nice, that I will feel…

Hello everyone!
Hello all! I thought I'd introduce myself to the community, if for nothing else than to keep myself motivated. As you can read from my profile, I seem to be a life-long yoyoist, and my weight has fluctuated from underweight to overweight to obese since my early teens (and even pre-teens). I've been trying to lose weight on…

New... ish
So I'm not really new, I've had this account since Dec, but I have not been very frequent with getting on and especially with tracking my food. I am hoping to start again and keep going every day so I know exactly where my problems are and how I can fix them. I have lost a good amount of weight but I am so ready to lose…

Hello, everyone...
My name is Susan, I'm a mom to two teen boys, and I'm new to MFP. My niece introduced me to it, and I love her lil' weight loss ticker thingy, so I decided to try it. It seems like I have had weight issues all my life, but the real struggle came about 4 years ago after taking a desk job (and the sedentary life that goes…

Hello from sunny San Diego!
My personal trainer suggested I join MFP and I thought I'd introduce myself! I don't know about everyone else, but counting calories has NEVER been easy for me. I've also never been able to "just have one" when it comes to food items (e.g. cookies, candy, servings). So far, this site has made things incredibly easy and I'm…

finished 1st week
Wow! What a great site. I thank my friend who introduced me to this site after commenting on the success she's made losing weight. The biggest thing I learned this week is how often I put food into my mouth without thinking. It may be to finish something my child left on his plate (learned from my earliest childhood…

LOVING THIS
I started my weight loss journey on 02/28/2011, weighing in at a whopping 213.8 pounds. Today, I met my first goal with a 20-pound weight loss (actually 21 pounds) in just 41 days, putting me at 192.8 pounds. MFP is a LIFESAVER! I still want to drop 40 pounds more and I CAN AND WILL DO THIS!
