New Years Resolution
Hi everyone! Although I signed up last year, I made it a new year's resolution to start this up again. It totally works if your committed!! This is ultimately a lifestyle change - not a diet. Most tell me "you don't have to lose any weight...what are you worried about?" I know my body and I know what I need to do. I am not…

Feeling alone
My Name is Jessica, I suppose I just need some support. When I was 16 I got pregnant, and I gained 120 lbs. during my pregnancy. I just turned 19, and my son will be 2 in April. In the past 6 months I have gone from 252 lbs. to 220 lbs. I have been doing well up until I lost track. I need to refocus. I don't know what to…

Hello Everyone!
Hi! I'm fairly new to the site. Discovered the app when I got an ITouch for the holidays and have found MFP VERY helpful. My goal is to lose 10 pounds. Down three so far, then stalled. Learned I need to eat my exercise calories, so now I'm trying that. I'm into Bikram "hot" yoga and running. I'll be running my first full…

Determined
Hi, I'm Kim in Chicago. I'm 39 and I have 40 pound weight loss goal. I just posted my first 5 pound weight lost! I'm determined to keep it going. I love using myfitnesspal on my iPhone. Keeping track of my food helps so much. Also, looking at the potential damage before I put food into my mouth makes a difference.

Deja Vu & Mixed Emotions
Hi. I joined MFP a year ago and lost 20lbs in 5 months. I enjoyed the challenge of improving my diet and getting fit, so found the weight loss quite easy. However - big however - I think I went too far. I started running 3 times a week and think it exhausted me. I picked up a virus and misaligned my back, and had to stop…

New to this site
Hi, I'm Kate, new to this site. My two wonderful pups take me outside every day. I recommend a dog or two to any reluctant exerciser. Three goals for me on this site: to eat lots more fruits and veggies (8 a day, anyone?), to eat some chocolate but not so much as I might want, and to lose 16 pounds. Thanks, Mike, for…

my 30's are hitting hard, and not in a good way.
In this last year since Jan. 2009 I have gained 25 pounds of the 35 pounds I had previously lost, that took me 2 years to lose in the first place. I am now, once again, 200 pounds. I am so frustrated with myself!!!! I swore i would never be 200 again. I also just turned 30 in Sept. and i have noticed, because of either…

Over daily calories by lunch time... what to do?
If you are over your calorie intake goal already by lunch time (or earlier), what is the best solution for meals for the rest of the day? I know it is not good to skip a meal or not eat for a half of a day, so what is the best solution to this problem?

Hello, my name is Lori
I just got an IPOD touch and downloaded this application on Christmas day. I absolutely love it!! I have used other apps before (spark people, weight watchers,etc) but this one is so fast and easy and free. I have been working on my weight loss for many years. At my heaviest weight, I was up to 237, that I'm aware of, I…

Not totally new
Hi guys! I joined in 2008 in an effort to track my eating and lose a few lbs before my wedding in January 2009. I wasn't really committed to my diet at that time and was more focused on exercise, so I slowly faded away without really committing to this site. Now that I have been married for almost a year, with an extra…
