    Been on and off for a while but really stuck logging for the last week or so. I've found it a blessing because it helps me realise what amount of crap I was sticking into my body in terms of calorific foods. I can look at portion sizes and control what I eat without feeling deprived of what I really like and still have them in moderation. This for me is a lifestyle change.

    Feel free to add me if you want :smile:

    I've been here a couple of years now. This time I'm determined not to wander away! I lost 42 pounds the first time I was here so it definitely works! It's easy to do, takes up very little time and the first time I did it, I lost weight without exercising for a fair bit before realising I could exercise as well! It had been so long since I'd done anything cos I was so out of shape and losing it without having to was a marvel! It's awesome here, the support of people and the encouragement is just astounding! :D Welcome to MFP! :D
