Finally Getting Fit!
Hi All, I joined last year but never kept up with the diaries or the diet! Now finally ready to commit. I already eat fairly healthy (low fat, very little red meat, lots of fruits and veggies) but can carb out on occasion (love my bread and chips) and was not careful with portion size. I only have about 15 pounds to lose…

Hi, New here!
I previously belonged to another site similar to this one, but I felt that it was at times, difficult and confusing to navigate. I think this site is great so far...so much easier!!! I'm looking forward to coming here each day and becoming part of a group who will help me achieve my 44lb weight loss goal. I have four kids…

Getting started
Like many people, I spend more calories complaining about my weight gain than actually modifying my behavior. This week I'm going to try something different. I'm hoping that this program will help keep me accountable. I think the counters really help. One of my first goals is to drink 5X as much water as diet coke. So far…

For Real??
:heart: Just joined about two weeks (+/-) ago, and started exercising as well. Is it possible for me to have lost 3 lbs already? It doesn't seem right. I think I understand how my allowed calories increase if I exercise, but if I don't always have the appetite to eat them, am I going to do damage? What if I take…

My first week
Oddly enough, I had been using the calorie counter on MFP for a few days and keeping a diary of my own in an excel file before I got smart enough to actually register. Once I actually took a minute to look at the rest of the site I realized the food diary here is much cooler than mine was. Lol. I have lost four pounds…

This is incredible
I am new to this site, but not to weight loss. About 3 years ago I lost 115 pounds, but over time about 30 pounds have crept back on. This site was just what I needed to kick start me into getting the weight back off and getting myself healthy again. I felt so much better when I weighed less and I want to get there again.…

Help me become Flabuless!!!
I think I had an A-HA moment on Thursday. I dropped a knife on my foot accidentally which required stitches, just 3, but painful nonetheless. When in the triage area they took my BP and it was 171/92. I thought, Dear God, don't let me stroke out in front of my 7 year old son. The nurse said, "oh, you're just nervous". I…
