I started a few days ago using myfitnesspal.com to track my food and excercise. I think it is a great website.
I started my new healthy lifestyle back on May 27th and I have lost 9.4 lbs so far. I have been overweight my whole life and have tried every diet under the sun. I was watching "Losing it with Jillian" about a month ago and something she said to one of the women on the show inspired me to get off the couch and start changing my life. I have been doing some form of excercise for about 3 1/2 weeks and I really do feel better.

SW=377.6
CW=368.2

1st goal=be at 340 by my 40th birthday in October

    Hello, and welcome, from a fellow "newbie"! I too have been very inspired by "Losing it with Jillian". She does some amazing work and truly cares about helping the people she interacts with. I wish you the best of luck and if you'd like a MFP friend, go ahead and send me a friend request! :) Have a great day!
