New to myfitnesspal & message boards
I've had fun reading everyone's posts so far and I am looking forward to diving into this community. I've been working out with a trainer and have seen my body changing but no weight loss thus far. He says that is normal and told me I should start a food journal. One of my work out buddies suggested this site and I am very…

been here awhile but new to message board
Hello, I new to the message board and in and out of the site.....about to be 54 years old and wonder if anything will work! I'm a mess...tried everything...even Jenny Craig...which didn't work and cost a fortune...over $500 a month and lost a pound a week but too slow for the cost. Am I destined to be fat forever???…

New, with a couple questions
I am new to this whole thing and am struggling to get it all figured out. I am trying to lose the 15-20 lbs I got while planning my wedding/being a newlywed. The problem I have is that I am hypoglycemic, so I have to eat fairly regularly or I get sick. This adds up pretty quickly. I am also allergic to many raw fruits and…

hi hi :)
Hey all! I added the app for mfp on my phone a while ago but I haven't ever introduced myself, so just wanted to say hi! I'm not really looking to lose weight (although who wouldn't love to lose just a few more pounds?) as much as I just wanted a place to keep track of my exercise and help keep my eating habits healthy. I…

Newby Girl
Hello everyone, my name is Stephany, I am a 23 year old who has done many yo-yo diets hoping for a quick solution. I know in my head that it takes more than just a pill to lose weight, but I think we all hold on to a hope that maybe it will work and when I am skinny it will be easier to eat less! lol Well... I have…

Let's be friends?!
Hi all! I'm new to this and still seriously lacking in the friends department (hopefully this is not a reflection on me! Ha!) The way I see it, the more friends I have, the more support I have! So feel free to add me and we can support each other and keep each other motivated! Good luck on your quest to shed those pounds…

Hey, there!
I've been using the iPhone app for a couple of weeks and love it! I've lost about 18 pounds since I got serious about losing weight in May and would like to lose another 10. I seem to have hit some sort of plateau and this website/iPhone app seem like just the right thing to get me back on track. Love it, love it!

Another Newbie
Hi, I just joined MFP today & Weight Watchers online almost about 3 weeks ago. I like the point system, but really miss having nutrition details particularly because I'm really a stickler about my sodium intake & as a regular platelet donor I struggle to keep my iron count up so it helps to know how much iron I am getting…

Hello, from one of the guys
A quick survey of the usernames around here indicates I am one of the few males--though I see the admin is a guy. My girlfriend got me to join and I have to say that I am impressed with the site and the tools available. I have been struggling to lose weight and keep it off for ten years. At 31, I am not very old, but I…

Newbie!!!
Hello all... I am new to the site and decided, this is my time to make a change. I am tired of seeing awesome outfits in the store glass window with the reality of knowing I can't buy anything from there. This is it, this is the time, and now will be when I start living my best life ever! S-Dub

Hi Everyone!
Hello! I'm not new to this site, I've used it successfully in the past--but I'm back again! I gained 60lbs with my first daughter (She's 2 now) and decided enough was enough and did something about it. I lost 40lbs (30lbs using this site)! I reached my goal and seemed like moments later found out I was expecting again. I…

New(ish) to site...
My husband and I have been using this site for about three weeks and love it! Its very user friendly and convenient since we both have iphones. He has seen about a 10 pound loss so far. I, on the other hand, work out like crazy and have seen very little weight loss....at least in numbers on the scale. I can definitely tell…

Newbie to calorie counting
Hello...I'm new to this whole calorie counting thing. I have never really had to watch what I ate, let alone keep track of the calories I consume, until I have a baby 2.5 years ago. I have always worked out 5-6 days a week. But over the past year or so, it seems like its been to mainly maintain my weight. I still have the…

Hello
Hello, my name is Amy and I'm new to calorie counting. Did Weight Watchers 6 years ago and had great success, but since having a baby and suffering a severe knee injury it was not working for me. Guess a change of pace was needed. I found this site on my iPod and after a week of using it love it! I love how I can keep my…

Newbie Nurse :-)
Hello everyone! I'm new to myfitnesspal, so if you have some time, check out my page. I really love the layout of this website and the fact that there is such a huge resource of food that has the calorie, carb and fat counts. I'm very impressed!

new member
:happy: I'm a new member and I need all the help and motivation I can get! I've been working out since June 24th and I've lost a total of 13 pounds since then but didn't lose anything in September so my trainer encourgaged me to join a calorie counting site. My friend suggested this site and I must say that I like it quite…

Old Newbie
Hey Everyone... I'm not quite a newbie. I've been lurking around this site for a number of years. I get a good start sometimes, then fall off the wagon. I haven't been active for a while. To my detriment. I knew I was in rough shape when the doctor's have said I need to lose weight to conquer some of my angina issues. It…

Under Construction
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to this site (into my second week) and I'm loving it. I tried Weight Watchers and was very successful and stop attending meetings. Thought I could continue following the plan on my own, it only worked for a while :o ). I can say that unlike some stories we've heard, I was able to keep a few…

newbie here
My friend I met in Korea posted this site on her fb account. It is extremely good timing as I missed my accupressure appointment this morning (I was dreading it as I know how badly I ate this week). Time for a fresh start! I'm going to be 40 next year and need to be in shape again. My chief problems are emotional eating,…
