Well I found this app on my phone to help me with calorie counting (really not knowing what I was going to find). My husband and I are determined to lose some weight and get on the healthy side. Busy schedules is our biggest obstacle when sticking with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I found this easy, won't break the bank and I can log on my phone. I have a hard time sticking with things when it comes to online because I sit in front of the computer 8 hours a day so I am hoping that the support from myhusband and support from others like us will keep us motivated and on track.

thank-you. So far I like what I see and how easy things are. Now, it's to get using some of the tools and begin the journey. What do you think is the best tool on this site.

welcome to the site! I have found MFP to be the most helpful with motivation and keeping a food and exercise diary. It shows me how many calories i've consumed, burned and how much I need to catch up...I can understand the busy schedules it is the hardest thing. I work nights on the weekdays and go back to a normal schedule on my days off. It gets confusing, but so far its been working great

The best tool on here is the people! It also really helps me be aware of what I'm putting in my mouth because I have to log it on here later and people will see and I will have to see the numbers ugh it's helps me think twice. And if your having a rough time tell people on here and they will help. I love MFP PEOPLE! Feel free to add me.

For me the best part of mfp is the accountability. Everything is counted out right there and I love seeing "mid0109 has completed her food and exercise diary and is under her calorie goal" so when I'm craving a midnight snack, I think of that! Lol good luck!
