316 lbs was my wake up call.
My passion has always been food. Some of my best childhood memories are the smells and the constant commotion of a kitchen in an Italian family. Those experiences carried into my adult life. I followed my passions and began training as a Chef. I couldnt get enough I wanted to learn and taste it all and boy did I. Over the…

You already know me...
You probably have seen me on the board already... I'm not new here. To this... the "weight loss" ride. I've done just about every… Single… Solitary… diet imaginable. Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, LA Weight Loss, Adipex (Phentermine), Stackers, HCG… just to hit the high notes. I was never heavy enough to be considered for…

New here but not to the weightloss thing
Hello, Just a quick message to introduce myself: I am Gaya, I live in SW England and as you may have guessed I am overweight (well obese if you want to know :sad: ) I am not new to the diet thing but I never manage to stick to it and give up really quickly. I love food and drink too much I think. Despite trying to lose…

Getting Healthy, Gaining Weight
Hi! I'm one of those rare girls who is trying to gain. At my healthiest weight, I was a freshman in college with a food buffet and a gym at my disposal. This summer while working at a nursery, I was exercising so much that I had amenorrhea and hair loss. I just want to weigh enough to be able to give blood and not pass…

Hello from the UK!
Hi, I downloaded the app for this site a couple of days ago out of curiosity (and boredom) just to see exactly how many calories verus exercise I do in a day. It's great, if a little controlling. Must admit, I don't need to lose weight as I lead an extremely active life with dogs and horses but it's very interesting when…

Changing My Life One Day at a Time-New to MFP
Hello, I'm new to My Fitness Pal. My Mother In Law and Sister In Law use the site and highly recommend it so here I am. I am at my heaviest weight.

Taking back my body, taking back my life
I just joined myfitnesspal last week. I was just entering my foods from my phone. I knew food diaries and food tracking would break down what I put in my body, but I never thought how much the little splurges or grabbing a handful of m&m's add to my calorie intake. I have never paid attention to my calorie intake. Can I…

Hello
I suppose it is customary for a first post to be hello, but a third one in this case will have to do. I very briefly looked at the MyFitnessPal site and iPhone app a few months back but couldn't quite get into it. After that I tried several of the other online trackers including 4 of the big names and while I still use one…

Low Calorie Foods, That Fill You Up.
Hello, I started a desk job in January, and have gained about 15lbs since then. I believe this is due to the fact that when I first started the job and things were slow, I would look for something to do (I eat when I'm bored) and many of the foods available to me are very junky fast foods. I recently decided to start…
