My friend badgered me into joining and I am so glad she did. I love the food log. I had been writing down and figuring out to calories, fat, etc. but that was to demanding since I a a mother of 3 and work full time. I am excited to keep moving down the right path...to become healthier and be more active with my children. I actually have lost 4 pounds and exercised more in the past 2 days thatn i have in the past 9 months....so motivated~!

    Keep it up! I am new to MFP also. It is so much easier tracking everything this way. Good luck reaching your goals.

    WooT! wOOT! ANgie!!! Don't forget to download your iphone app. That's what I use throughout the day so that I have accountability at the touch of a finger!

    You may not have an iphone, but it is SOOO IMPORTANT that you track your daily calories! I switched to this site after trying a zillion others, because the iphone app made my calorie tracking so simple I've lost more in the last 3 days than the last 3 months! Only 3 pounds, but still, I think it's all from the calorie tracking...so do whatever you have to do to get that done, and good luck!!!

    I LOVE the calorie tracking....right after I eat I log in what i have eaten. i love to watch the numbers move and then if I really have bad looking number i tend to exercise to make them look good again.

    hey! i joined a few days ago! feel free to add me for motivation! =) I find it difficult some times so talking to everyone on here is a MAJOR help!!

    I love how I can track my food and don't have to count things like when I was on weight watchers! this does it for me =)

    Welcome!
