Hello MFP Community!

Hi everyone!

My name is Chelsea and I'm new to MFP. I've been here for a week. I've 60 lbs to lose, but I really like the app so far and enjoy tracking my food. I'm a ParaCycling athlete. Where is everyone from? I'm from Ottawa, Canada.

Any tips to share about your weight loss journey? I'd love to hear about your success story. I find that so inspirational!

    Hi Chelsea. My husband and I visited Ottawa a few years ago during the tulip festival. Absolutely beautiful! Welcome to MFP.

    @PeachHibiscus that is cool that you've visited Ottawa for the Tulip Festival. It is beautiful. I hope you had a nice visit. People have nicknamed Ottawa "The city that fun forgot".

    Where are you from?

    How is your MFP journey going?

    I hope you have a wonderful day!

    @Kayakwoman83 we had a fantastic visit! I'm sure we'll be back sometime. We're from Pennsylvania so it's not a terribly far drive.

    I came back to MFP a few months ago when I was diagnosed T2 diabetic. I figured it would be easier to track my carbs/calories here than just trying to eyeball it. So far it's working really well. I'd like to lose about 50-60 pounds so I've got a ways to go but that's OK.

    I hope you have a great day, as well!
