Hello everyone, my name is kelli and I am new to MFP! I am looking to meet other people going through the same thing's I am. I am trying to get back into shape for my family and myself. I am looking to lose about 50 to 60lbs. I have had a hard time losing weight in the past but I am determined to make ti work this time, I am also trying to help my husband lose some weight and get into better shape for his health. If anyone has any tips I would love to hear them.

    Hi, I am new here too. A friend of mine told me about this website and from everything that I have read seems to be a great way for me to get started to healthy living. I went out today and bought healthy low calorie, low fat foods and fruit and veggies. I will keep everyone posted on my progress. Question: Is anyone taking diet supplements? If so, what seems to be the best?

    I would personally not recommend diet supplements, they might seem fabulous but it the long run it tears and wears on your body. The best way is to eat right, drink water and work out.

    Thanks for all your welcomes, I am so happy to have found a place to go for the help I need... I was just wondering I really dont like water but I always use crystal light packs, would that be considered drinking water or not?

    As far as tips go, this site really helps track healthy eating and exercise - with real time targets and constant goal reminders. So stay on top of what you eat - make it healthy, it's fuel - eat 5-6 small meals a day with healthy proteins, healthy carbs and healthy fats in each meal. Exercise as much as you can and keep logging iit into to MFP. Drink lots and lots and lots of water and make sure you log everything into MFP and you can see exactly how healthy you're eating and how much food and exercise you need each day.

    This site has helped me immensely, i had no idea what I was stuffing into my mouth until i started keeping an accurate log, and seeing my progress helps motivate me to get up, get out, and exercise (swimming has been great - and I hate getting up early out of a warm bed and climbing into a cold pool ).

    Good luck, and nice meeting you
