Hello everyone!

I happened across this site last night, and it looks like a great place for support during my weight loss journey. I have used Fitday for years, and until today I didn't realize it had a forum.... I find my food so much easier to log here at MFP, Fitday can be a bit of a hassle searching their food data base. I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing Fitday, it is a great weight loss tool, but I've always felt so alone in my struggle (granted it was my oversight that I didn't see their forum) but regardless, I've decided to give MFP a try. At the moment I'm browsing the forum and learning how the tools and logs etc work. Once I get the hang of it here, I hope to become an active member of this forum, and start my body and mind in a positive direction. I'm tired of losing the same handful of pounds again and again! I keep starting my "diet" over and over, then months pass and I look back thinking "if I had only stuck to it, I'd be ###lbs by now!". I don't want to say "if only" anymore. A few months from now I want to be excited about what I see on the scale, not making plans to start again. So here I go, taking the first step to a new happier, healthier and energetic me!
*sigh*
Seems my introduction has turned into a bit of a rant, sorry about that lol.

Just keep it up!!! Don't ever say, "if only" again!!!! It's all you. It's your time. Do it because you want to. Do it because YOU ARE IMPORTANT!!!! This is the only life you have to live. Thank God every day and ask for HIS power and guidance.

Hello and welcome! I used Fitday in the past as well, and I find MFP sooooo much easier. It's also works well with the phone app, which really keeps me accountable. (If you have an Android phone, you can even barcode scan your foods in - amazing!) I have no trouble whatsoever with keeping up with MFP, for a lot of us it's become a compulsion to log on and keep track of your friends and support everyone here. I hope you enjoy this place, there's a lot of wonderful resources and information.
