Hello, all. My name is Laurie. I'm here because I weigh 255 lbs, and I'm only five-foot-nothing. My doctor says I'm a mess, and he's right: insulin-dependent diabetes and the beginnings of congestive heart failure. I've been here five days, and it's going okay--until today when the Feta cheese I went nuts with put me 42 calories and a LOT of sodium over my goals. Wish me luck, and I gladly wish you the same.

I just started using "My Fitness Pal" on my android last week, but this is my first time on the site. I love feeling all of this love and support on these forums! I'm ALWAYS over my sodium and sugars.. it's awful

I am also new, around two weeks. I haven't lost any weight and have been working out a great deal, walking and bike riding. I started logging everything I ate and I now understand why. I never liked to write down what I ate for the day because I didn't want to face the fact that I am consuming to many calories, especially carbs. I love bread, pasta, and salt. I have been logging everything I eat and it is making me aware of what I am eating and what I have to cut out. I know that we can change our eating habits by keeping track of the food we eat. Good luck and welcome aboard.
