    Welcome!!!
    Congratulations for taking your first steps toward a healthier you.

    You’ve found a great app and community to improve or maintain your health and fitness. Whatever you’re goals are, there is a place for you here.

    You are in the right place. Remember this is not a program or a diet, it is a lifestyle to a healthier you.

    Browse around the community to find a group that suits you or stick with these threads. We are all here to help each other out and provide inspiration or motivation.

    Start by reading some of the inspiration stories in the blog. You’ll find a theme there starting with:
    - make a small sustainable change eg., if you like to drink pop, then switch that out for water or sparkling water with lemon or lime in it.
    - Once you’ve adjusted to that change then make another small sustainable change eg., if you like to eat rice, switch that out for brown rice
    - Track what you eat
    - Monitor your macros
    - Monitor your metrics (weight and measurements)
    - Then adjust as needed
    - As you lose weight, your body is going to change, not only in appearance, but also in how it reacts to different foods.

    You’ve made a fantastic first step by logging into MFP.
