Hello I'm new here

Options
Hello, I have just got started today. I have been trying to lose weight for years and year by year I've actually gone up. I've tried Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Atkins and more. I lose a few pounds, then they come back, usually with a few friends.

I filled in my food intake today and was amazed that even though I thought I was eating healthily I will be over the limit by 600 calories. This may be getting to the root of the problem! ;)

I live in Hampshire, on the coast, with my husband. I'm looking forward to losing weight once and for all with MFP - wish me luck!

    Hey there, If you don't mind the task of logging everything...even the bits and bites, or the sugar and cream in your coffee, you will see results. After a while you will build up your own database and it won't take so long to log...The first time I went on here I lost 20 lbs, got pregnant and now trying to lose again. This is the only thing that works for me and keeps me accountable....Good Luck!!
