    Welcome to My Fitness Pal! I lost 25 pounds so far by just sticking to the calories they have set for me and watching my sodium. I walk around 20-30 minutes a few times a week also. Good Luck. :smile:

    I switched from Weight watchers and love it here! GOOD LUCK! feel free to add me if you like. I eat at or below 1100 net calories. I am really short, though... 4 feet 11.5 inches. Yes, that half inch is really important. So, with the 1200 cals a day, I wouldn't even lose 1 lb a week. I love to walk... usually I get at least 3 30-minute walks per week. I will also run in place in my office if it comes down to it.

    Welcome and Good luck!

    I'm still relatively new myself, but in my opinion MFP is a fantastic site - the food diary / fitness tracking is easy to use and a simple method to reach your goals and you'll almost always find loads of support and encouragement from everyone on the forums! Hope you like it and stick with it!

    Just set your goals on here, watch what you eat, and exercise is some way shape or form. MFP really makes you realize what you are putting in your body.
