Hello, I just started a a little diet, with a goal to drop 20 lbs. I have the p90x but I haven't look to it, so if anyone can get me some advice, perhaps share some experiences...by the way, if you live in the Northern Virginia area and feel up to the challenge, give me a shout out!

New to this site
My first day on this program and I need to lose weight. My first reason is for my health and second reason is that I will be going to Mexico after 2 years to see my father. My family always saw me thin and I do not want them to see me now. So, my goal is to lose some weight before my trip in Feb2011. Any advice??

New to this site, and liking it so far
I was looking for some support in developing more healthy habits in my life, and stumbled on myfitnesspal. So far, I've been really impressed with the features that are offered for free. From what I've read, tracking behavior and having a community of support are two factors that make it much more likely that change will…

Im a full-time accountant and have a 8month old baby, while my husband travels 4 days out of a 7 day week. I leave to work around 6:30am and get home around 7:00pm, by this time I come home to eat…

New here, hi
Hi. I'm a 26 year old work at home mom of 2 girls under 3. I've been overweight my whole life and basically it got out of control after my 2 c-sections in 2 years. I'm now heavier than I've ever been (not pregnant) and I'm having a really hard time losing the weight. I don't get a lot of structured exercise in my day, but…

starting over
Last year for my new year's resolution I swore to myself to lose 45 lbs. And I busted my butt this last year. I even picked up running which is a HUGE feat for me. I lost 10 lbs at first and the inches were falling off of me and I was looking and feeling better than I had since before I was pregnant with my first kiddo.…

Outside Support
Hi...my name is Ashley and I've been surfing this site for about two weeks. Mostly using it to keep track of my food intake and (minor) exercise. I thought that if I had the organizer I could do it on my own, but I'm realizing more and more that the more moral support I have the harder I'll try and (probably) better I'll…

New From MN
Well I began working out and eating healthy again! I started monitoring more closely this month. I also did a 9 day cleanse which I never finished my last two days. I was discouraged but kept eating right and working out! I am now down 15 pounds and should be under 200 soon! My goal weight is a lean 180. :smile:

Needing motivation!!!
So I am new to MFP and have been on a 1200 calorie a day diet since September. I have had great success so far, but the progress is beginning to slow considerably which is making it VERY hard to feel good about what I am doing! With the holidays I am terrified I will just blow it and put the 36 pounds I have lost back on!…

Serious Effort
I just joined myfitnesspal.com last weekend and it has been 6 days of tracking food and exercising. My exercising is 3 mile fast paced walk every day. 2 nights this week running 3 miles. The biggest wakeup call for me, is how those tiny things like butter, creamer add so many calories. Once I figured that out I stopped…

Working Healthy
I am trying to get down to a healthy weight in a healthy way! I was very thin growing up (and probably suffered from an eating disorder), however through a combination of new medications, age, and actually eating, I have gained more weight than I am comfortable with. The last time I lost a bunch of weight I restricted my…
