Tried my fitness pal a couple of years ago but didn't stick with it. Today, I realized that something has got to change and that change can only be done by me. Due to fibromyalgia coming on suddenly and viciously about 7 years ago, I have gained alot of weight, mainly from being inactive. Decided today was a great day to break that cycle! So far my first day was great...

Welcome,

I think these two links are extremely helpful and can help you get the most out of MFP:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

~Best wishes on your journey
