I joined this awesome site a few days ago and I love it! I am so excited about it, I tell everyone I know.
I find it a great motivator to eat right and exercise daily. I quit smoking a year ago and packed on some pounds. I really think it changed my whole metabolism, but I am on the right track now. I love how thus system really holds me accountable to stick to my goal. Have a great night! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome twinky!
    You've got every right to be excited, because MFP REALLY, REALLY works! You WILL lose the weight that you want to here, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. Drink lots of water too, it really helps!

    Hi, I'm new to this site also, I like it because it's free compared to WW. I was a member there for 3 months and I lost 10 pounds, but now it's slowly creeping back on, I still try to watch what I eay, but I'm not exercising like I should be. I'm hoping to get to my goal by the new year because I'm horrible at keeping new year resolutions!

    I have to get used to the calorie counting rather than the points like WW, I think the calories will be easier because you can see that on pretty much any food. My question is when people post their own recipes, how do I know if that's like what I made? (or how would I post my own recipe so that I know how many calories it is??)

    Also, how do you get your tickers and signatures on your posts?
