New to the Forums and Ready to Get Serious!

Hi!

Although I've had an account for few years, I never posted in any of the forums and I've never been too dedicated to losing weight. Both of those things are changing now.

I'm Angie, I'm 22 years old (23 on Saturday!) and I'm looking to lose 100 pounds. My primary goals are to gain more energy and to take care of my body by providing it with nutritional foods in moderate portions, and to find a type of exercise I enjoy doing and can see myself routinely doing.

Feel free to add me! I'm also looking for accountability buddies. I don't really have any friends who are interested in a healthy diet / exercise, so it'd be nice to hear from you guys and we can motivate each other.

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.

For more friends check out these threads which ended up gaining alot of traction.
