Mom to many, need accountability

RockinOilyMomma

My previous post got buried.

I am a 38 y/o mom of 7 (3 by birth), and 3.5 grandkids. I started this because I went up in sizes since last summer and was close to going up another. The number on the next up tag was depressing, so I knew something had to give.

I have noticed that when I eat better, I am less swollen. Last weekend was difficult since I was on vacation and I definitely noticed the inflammation.

I would love to add friends for motivation and accountability, but I am loving just the app itself for that so far.

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.
