Hi everyone out there,

I have just joined up having been recommended by a friend. This feels like a last ditch attempt at weight loss - help - is it easy. I am struggling with what to actually do as I cannot find much blurb.:smile:

    Welcome!

    You have taken a pretty big first step by finding MFP and getting set up to use it/

    If by easy you mean relatively simple, yes. There is a basic formula to assist in the wieght loss - calories in vs calorie burned, etc etc.

    However, if by easy, you mean in that 'not a whole lot of work way' then, unfortunately no. People here will help and we are here to encourage each other and help along the way, but shedding the weight that is so easy to aquire is not always an easy thing. Sometimes the pounds play nice and leave fairly willingly. Sometimes they are like houseguests with no concept of a subtle hint and have to be dragged kicking and screaming out the door. There is sweating involved. There are eating shifts involved. Be prepared to take a look at your life and decide if you want it enough to make the effort. It IS worth it. YOU are worth it.
    Come and play with us! It is worth the effort.

    ^_^
    Happy to have you here!
