Hello,

I am new to MFP, I saw it advertised on the internet so thought I would give it a try as I would like to lose a few extra pounds before I go on holiday to Florida in September and have noticed the odd new stretchmark rearing its ugly head so thought I would try to lose a bit of weight in the hope that it may also improve the appearance of these as well as make me look a bit better in my bikini haha!

I hope to lose around 45 pounds so I am within the ideal weight for my height *fingers crossed*

First day of many... have entered my food and am under my target for everything today so am happy.. hopefully every day will be this successful :) highly doubtful as chocolate is my biggest sin and will be extremely hard to resist!

Good luck everyone!
We can do this if we help each other!

    Thank you for all your kind words.

    I was wondering if you could answer me a question I have about the goals section of MFP. On the 'Goals' section it says that my net calories consumed/day is 1390 and my calories burned from normal daily activity is 2,140. Does that mean that I have to burn off 750 more calories that I eat? Surely that would mean doing hours and hours of exercise a day that I simply do not have time for.

    It is very confusing! Sorry I'm a bit dim.

    Many thanks
