Hello all!

I am really excited to have found this website and the application for my iPhone. I am currently pretty active; however I feel that as a result of my exercising, I sort of felt like I deserved to eat pretty much whatever I wanted. Well that hasn't worked out so well! LOL... I am about 20 lb heavier than I'd like to be. So I am now trying to get a handle on my calorie intake. I am hoping that doing this along with my normal exercise routine, I will be able to get back to where I'd like to be. This is only my 3rd day, but I am trying really hard and hoping for good results.

    Welcome! You are right.....you will be able to figure out exactly how many calories your body needs.
    It has helped me a lot!

    Ive been on here for 50 days today. Ive learned alot on this site and im glad I found it too.. I got on here only needing to lose 10 pounds my last 10 pounds it so hard. Ive carried it around for a yr so now I have only 5 to go coming off slow but its ok. I love to register my calorie intake to see what I am eating and not to eat. It helps out alot. I added more fruit and protien which helps. I will meet my goal but it will be another 2 months or so but thats ok Im gaining muscle and love how I feel. I hope you get the same results and welcome you to MFP.. :)
