Hi I am new to this site have tried plenty of other things and they have not worked so my mother and law and I are trying this site together. Kind of a friendly contest between us to see if we can make it work. If any one has any ideals I am open to anything to lose this weight.

Thank you and good luck to you !

    Welcome to MFP! Stick with it and it works :) I am most successful at losing when I track every single calorie that goes in my mouth. If I track, I lose. If I don't, I gain. Good luck to you!

    Welcome and I am sure you will do fine. I track everything no matter how small. It seems to help me, and make sure you add people the support and encouragement really does help and go a long way. Feel free to add me.

    It all starts with the logging. You will be totally surprised how many ACTUAL calories you are eating if you are diligent about logging. It really makes you think about what you are doing to yourself. Secondly, stay motivated, but also realize this is a lifestyle change. You are allowed to slip up now and again. I've learned a lot from this site, and it is a great tool.

    Good luck on your competition! Definitely come to the forums of you have any questions.
