Hello,

I just joined the message board. I saw a co-worker logging their food and I asked about the application. I downloaded it onto my phone and began to use it. I really found myself drawn to keep the bar to eating within the calries I have selected for the day. Then, a week later, I came onto the website. I started adding more data, but little do I know about this message board. Tonight I read the posts and I became so motivated that I worked out for 60 minutes, I want to try one of the workouts that I read about on the board. I am just SO excited!

My wedding is 60 days away. I know its may be a little late to lose the amount I would like to lose, but if I can lose as close to the 25 lbs. I would like to get to for my first weight loss goal I will be ecstatic!

Please add me if you are interested in helping me to get to my journey by watching you. I also would like to help to help motivate you!

    You seem very motivated. No doubt you will lose the weight for your wedding day and MFP will show you how to maintain your desired weight.

    Welcome!!! I'm new too. I've only been doing this for maybe 6 weeks. I'm in a biggest loser contest and so far, I'm in first place. By the way, I'm not referring to the official show -rather a fierce competition among co-workers.

    Add me?
