Hi I'm new
I just started on my fitness pal and message boards. I've tried on line food diaries before but never made time to make any friends. It didn't take long before I got bored with just entering my daily food and exercise. I'm excited about this one and with a little encouragement I think it just might work this time. :happy:

Hi from MN!
Hi everyone, I just learned of this site today, and am so excited to get started! I have been on a rollercoaster with my weight for years. I lost about 40 pounds about 2 years ago for my wedding, and since have had a hysterectomy so I have put about 25 of that back on. I am off to a new year and have a goal for myself for…

Back In Control
I just turned 39 this holiday season. I've been extremely busy with coaching kid's sports, graduate school, and work over the past year. I found myself coming home at 9 p.m. from a full day of activities and, after getting the kids to bed, I would be starving! That put me on an out-of-control trajectory. So, it is time to…

I Don't Believe I actually introduced myself.
I have been on Web Page for the last week and don't believe I actually introduced myself. I am an old gal who has tried a few diets in the last few years. Weight was something I had control of until I went back to school in my late 40's and became an RN when I was 50. Somehow it got out of control over those later years…

Hi! I am new from MN
Hi everyone. I am new to myfitnesspal. I am hoping to turn my eating habits around and lose some weight this year. I tried it last year, and lost about 20 pounds. And, I am not sure what happened.

What a way to kick off 2009!
Every year I always resolve to "lose weight", however, since I'm never very specific about my weight loss expectations anywhere that I can see, I tend to set unrealistic standards (and sometimes unhealthy ones too) and then wind up feeling like a failure when I don't meet them. This year, I opted to do it the smart way,…

Lurking for 3 months...it's time to say hello.

After frequenting this site almost daily for three months I figured it was about time I introduced myself and let you all know how much I appreciate the community on here.

day 1
I just signed up and I'm nervous! Can I do this? It feels like a huge hurdle. How do I cut down on my calories? How do I lose a pound a week? I over ate today per the calorie counter. Is anyone out there in the same boat?

Well it's 2009 and time for resolutions but instead of being unrealistic (like in the past), I am going to really do it this time. I am so excited that I stumbled upon My Fitness Pal. I have a long way to go, and I know it won't be easy but I am running out of excuses to not change my lifestyle.
