Hello from Texas!

LChlebus

Hey y’all! I’m not exactly new to MFP but haven’t been on here in over 4 years. My weight has been yo yo-ing for years now. Most recently lost about 15lbs for my wedding last year but now I found myself right back up there! I recently had some labs done and found out I have stage 2 non-alcoholic liver disease (fatty liver), high cholesterol and high sugar levels. I immediately went into the Mediterranean diet and lost 5lbs over the first month. But then I hit a plateau. So in order to get the weight loss going, I decided to count my calories along with the diet!

So here I am, a week in, already down 4lbs. So ready to stick to this to not only get my labs back down but to get pregnant. Let’s do this!

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
