Hi all,

I'm here to finally make a change and hold myself accountable. I've been putting it off for too long! I'm tired of being "lost" in this diet world we live in. Some info on me: I'm a former Marine, I love to read,I love pilates and I love working out at home to fitness DVD's! I'm looking forward to being a part of MFP!

    Hi Mirela, welcome! I have tried to "diet" many times too, and so far, I love love this site better than anything else I have tried. Having a daily visual of where you are at really puts things into perspective. I just recently thought of purchansing some DVDs to work out at home with (since it's easier than carting my 5-yr-old to the gym with me and I can do it whenever,) do you recommend any? Thanks!

    Ooh-Rah to all the Marines on the board! :D

    Thank you all so much for the supporting and encouraging words!

    Any words on calorie counting? Do you do it as you go or write it down then input it in the evening or what do you suggest? Thanks!!
