New to My Fitness Pal

LeAnn_Mae

Found this site when looking for an alternative to FitDay. I like FitDay but I like My Fitness Pal even better! I am a Stay at Home mom plus a freelance website developer. I've been heavy all my life but not quite as overweight as now. My highest weight was 244 and so far I've lost about 35 pounds. Although I gained some over the holidays but I'm refusing to accept that as my current weight (even though it's in my signature ;-) I'm still heavy but I'm attempting Couch to 5K. It's hard but hopefully one day it will get easier. I struggle with food daily. Can't seem to stop eating the junk food. My mom wasn't a great cook so we grew up on mac and cheese and other boxed food. Of course because of that I can't cook either. I'm hoping to find some easy/healthy recipes that will help me stay on track.

Try making one new recipe a week and I bet you'll learn to cook in no time. You have to have some flops to learn.

Hi and welcome! This is a GREAT place to be. I wasnot a great cook either and my son had most likely the meals that you had. But let me tell you that he is one of the best and healtiest cooks around. I just did not like to cook because I was ALWAYS on a diet. I thought and still fight with the thought that food is bad for you! Anyway, i hope that you like it here. The support, motivation and inspiration is unbelieveable!!!! Best of wishes to you on your new journey!
