Thank goodness because yesterday I managed to eat around 1600 calories more than I should have. It's amazing how aware you become when you do keep a food diary. Which would be why I'm here. Today I'm…

One More Time!
So... I've put on 15 pounds in the first year I've been married. My clothes don't fit. And I have a super busy life - I'm a teacher. Still, I have once again resolved to change. I commit to eating 1,500 calories a day, avoiding as much fat and sugar as I can without changing normal foods (I ate a broccoli casserole today,…

more calories, not enough left in protein or carbs
At the end of the day, I often have a calorie deficit and should eat more, yet if I do that, I will be over the allowance for carbs, protein and fat. Am I misreading this? Can you explain how you handle this? Thanks!

Hi, I am Jenn. I have been a member since April 20th. Myfitnesspal has helped me so much already. I have already lost four pounds. My weight changes often, because of medication. I've gained 35 pounds in the past year. Can't wait to reach my goal. With support I know I will be able to continue improving.

Brand new member seeking motivation
I have always had to work at my weight, but usually not too hard. I have enjoyed eating what I like and staying fairly fit. Ever since I hit 35 it is like the weight is just sticking to me. I have slowly gained 18 pounds over the past 2 years- I am tall so I hide it well, but now I have had enough! I work out on the…

Finally ready
I have not ever really been on a diet before but after seeing myself in a 3 way mirror when I took my daughter shopping I was shocked at how large I had become. I am now ready to begin a dramatic change in lifestyle. I have also seen my daughter weight go way up in the last 3 months. She is 11 and just begining to realize…

Ready for change!
Hi! My friend Paula told me about the website and I am really enjoying it! I also joined weight watchers (before I was told about this site) and I am doing both simultaneously. It works for me, because one system I have points and the other I have calories. It really balances out. I print out both reports and keep them in…

Living in Istanbul
Hi Everyone! I live in Turkey (but I am not Turkish). Life is a crazy adventure here. I have had some back problems for the past year. I've had problems with two discs and more recently I've suffered from some pretty horrible sciatica. My back pain has put me in bed for weeks at a time and no therapy I've tried has helped.…

Amazed

I have put on a lot of weight in the past few years and I have never had any sucess, even when I did lose I put it all back on. I have learned so much the last few week. The most important thing that I have learned is that this is…

newbie!
Hi everyone! I joined about a week ago thinking I would just use the food journal to track my calories, but I started reading through some of the posts and everyone seems really supportive. So, I decided to get involved. I think that some support and motivation is just what I need to get these last few pounds off. Let's do…

Hello
:smile: Okay, I finally decided that it was time to lose weight. I had a baby 1 1/2 year ago and I'm 35 years old. I have to admit that I have been very lazy and as much as I wanted the weight to drop off, I did nothing to help it along. As I am trying to get into my clothes I'm realizing how big I'm getting. because they…
