Hello

cdmalmrose

Several years ago, I lost over 40 pounds but some medical issues (i.e. all the medicine) lead to me regaining about 20lbs ... very frustrating. I finally got off all the medicine about a year ago and have managed to knock off about 10 of them but for the last 5 months I have been struggling with the final 10.
I'd been using the program which helped me lose the original 40 pounds. It's a great program, but it's just not clicking for me this go round.
Yesterday a friend told me about myfitnesspal --- she had been having the same problems that I was losing weight.
She has had success right from the start.
I just have to try this program! It sounds perfect. I love the fact that you can eat real food (Bleh - packaged diet foods are just not an option) and there is some self accountability (which I think is lost with all those fads).

SO looking forward to being able to wear my summer clothes again with looking like an emerging oompa-loompa!

Hi and welcome

MFP is a great site, just log in everyday to get the most you can out of it. Have a look around the forums and send requests to anyone you feel has similar goals, interests, age etc. Giving and receiving encouragement is a great motivator and you feel accountable to like minded folk. Oompa-Loopa be gone! Tho I very much doubt you resemble one!

Good luck
