If at first you don't succeed...
I am a 30 year old stay at home mom to a four year old boy and an 18 month old baby girl. Before having children, my weight would fluctuate 10 pounds from time to time but I was always a healthy weight. Then AFTER the birth of my son, I fell into a funk and put on 60 pounds. For the last three years I have lost and…

probably a silly question
Hi, I have just joined - although I have been following a healthy eating and exercise plan since 4 January and have lost 20 pounds so far! I had a quick (and probalby silly) question. When it says that you are supposed to have 8 glasses of water per day - does this mean cold water? I have been drinking hot water with lemon…

I've Had a Revelation!
I guess you could call it an "a-ha" moment! I came to the realization that if I eat when I am truly hungry, I will lose weight. Are you saying to yourself, "huh"? I am a classic textbook case of an emotional eater. I rarely eat because I am hungry. I eat because I am bored, lonely, sad, happy, angry, frustrated or tired. I…

New to My Fitness Pal
:laugh: Hello! I am just starting out here on My Fitness Pal. I am a former longtime member of a popular weight loss program and just got tired of paying $40 a month when they really weren't teaching me anything I didn't already know.

And so I'm back again :o(
Here I am again! I just can't keep the weight off if I don't use this site! I know compared to a lot of people I don't have that much to lose & I also know all my troubles are my own fault. This site works so I'm going to make it part of my daily routine. Since I was here last I've gained all the weight & inches back &…

Just joined MFP! HI!
I came across this website over the weekend. I was looking for an online tool to help me track what I'm eating and my exercise goals. I've been struggling to lose lately. A bit about me -- I lost 40pds on WW and actually became a lifetime member - this was backin 2005. I did it all using their "core" program. I was…

having a hard time
Whenever I eat out, I know what I SHOULD eat, but I just don't do it. I know that I'm going to feel terrible afterwards, but that just doesn't do it for me. Any advice?

Through the Ipod and the PC i'm able to update everything I eat and snack on through out the day and not worry about how much calories, fat, sugar ect I consume. I'm also thrilled that it's absolutley free! Which means…

First week
Hello! I joined MFP last Monday and I love it!! It's much easier to track food and exercise than I thought it would be. I'd tried a couple of other sites first and wasn't impressed with them. I had gastric bypass surgery in December 2009 and haven't been tracking my food intake. All last year I had to write down everything…

New and Struggling
So I just started using this site. I think it is great, but I am struggling because my fiance is not looking to lose weight. He constantly eats fast food and it makes it really hard for me. I talked to him about it, but he doesn't think I need to lose weight so he is struggling to support me. My wedding is in October, and…
