Today I am one month into using MFP. In 30 days I have lost 18 pounds and around 3 inches. There are so many things about using this site that helped, including motivation from my new friends as well as using my food diary to hold myself accountable...
Several things contributed to my weight gain over the years...quitting smoking, childbirth (he's 10 years old) I have a stressful job as a restaurant manager, I love food, etc... but those things can be overcome and I really believe that I am gonna be as healthy in my 40s as I was in my 20s!
I guess I just want to say that if you are new and unsure, read the forums. Read the success stories. Add new friends every day they are a great motivation. Be honest in your food diary, exercise (cause diet alone just wont cut it) and most importantly; DON'T GIVE UP!
I remind myself of my goals every day.
I log in every day.
I feel better every day!
