Hello! I am new to MFP (well kinda..). My Wife and I joined about a week ago and we have logged all of our exercise at the gym and EVERYTHING that we eat. Logging of the food has been a real eye opener!!

The biggest motivator for this CHANGE is our 3 young kids (4 yr, 2 yr and 7 weeks).

I would love new friends to help me stay on track!

    Sounds like me...I started here because on my kids (4 yrs and 1 yr) I really wanted to play with them and not get out of breath.

    MFP has helped me be accountable for everything I eat. As long as you're honest.

    You are dead on!! Every now and then I think about not measuring the food, or just guessing at the total. But I know that it will only hurt in the long run. I am working VERY hard to stay honest!
