in Introduce Yourself
Joined a few weeks back but only starting to get into it properly.

It's already becoming a hassle to sign in and enter everything I've eaten/done... but I've now discovered the My Fitness Pal iPhone app which is great.

So, um, yeah. Hi! I'm Lissa, I've lost 112lbs but still have around 20lbs to go.

Wish me luck... ;o)

    I thought at first it was a lot of work to log in and keep track of calories, but now it is just a habit that I enjoy. Congrats on your weight loss. That is really something to be proud of.

    I love logging in. It's part of my daily routine since starting MFP and if I'm away from the computer, I just use the iPhone app. Best of luck to you! Adorable Pug you have. :) I have one too. They are so sweet.

    And hello to you from sunny Kilmarnock. Good luck with your regime - you have done extremely well up to now and you will do even better with MFP. Glad you find the iphone app - I have it too and it makes it less of a chore if you just add in your food and exercise as you go along.

    Failte!
    Nice to hear a Scottish accent once in a while :)
    MFP is the BEST logger our there - it remember your frequent foods making it easy to click them in.
    You also don't have to worry about missing a day or so. But logging is essential to understanding where your nutrients and calories come from.
    You don't need luck your here - and you've come so far already!
    Keep up your good work

    :happy: Just joined MFP today. Need to lose at least 7lb before end of October. Going on a cruise and will eat far too much so need to lose the excess before I go. I live near Kilmarnock. Finding the app for the iPhone a great tool. I can add as I eat/drink without having to remember every little bite. Makes me much more conscious of what I am actually eating. My, do those calories add up! Good luck to all. :smile:

    Hello From southern Michigan.
    I am new to MFP also. Have lost 25lbs and have 15 to go. Journaling has worked best for me, and just knowing there is a place to register exercise has inspired me to start walking and going to exercise class just to be able to put something in the
    exercise column You have done a remarkable job with your weigh journey. Congratulations

    Bring that App with you on the cruise. By the end of october you may not want to overeat.
