I am new to this site and have been on a low carb. This is actually week #4. I am excited because I have lost 15lbs so far. I have found that logging in my food intake and exercise has helped tremendously. It seems that I can't wait to log in my intake and see what I have done for the day. Next week I am going to introduce some other healthy foods into my diet so I don't gain all my weight back when I lose it and become a healthier person from using food as fuel and not a crutch which I had been doing. So thankful for this site. My dog Bo has been enjoying my excercises also because he has been walking a lot more. Hope everyone has a great day and keep up the good work.: :smile: smile:

    Hey. Souns like you are on the right track. I just joined here yesterday. I did Weight Watchers for a while, but could no longer afford it. I am eating healthier, and trying hard to only eat when I am hungry. One other battle is I eat to fast. I have learned to eat while playing a game on the computer or iPad. I take a bite and then play the one minute game. It is helping me to slow down, which in turn helps smaller portions to truly fill me up. Strange I know, but it is working for me.

    I am an Elementary Education student at FSU. I will graduate in December and am very excited about that. I am also a single mom. Good for me my son is very encouraging about eating healthy and exercising.

    Hey Barbara, welcome to MFP, and congrats on your weight loss and healthier lifestyle. I've been on here since January and still look forward to logging my stuff in, it's a very fulfilling feeling. Anyways, I know you didn't actually ask, but, if you'd like some extra motivation, feel more than free to friend me.
