Hi everyone! I joined this site a couple of weeks ago and really like it. I need to lose about 75lbs so I know it is going to take awhile. This site makes it fun and like a game to eat healthier. My sister and daughter have had great success with MyFitnessPal and I hope to do the same. It will be soooo nice to fit into smaller clothes again! Would like to have some friends! Love to share recipes and offer support. Remember, the Holiday Season is fast approaching! That scares me, lol! Toodles!

Hey there! Seventy-five pounds is a great goal, and you can totally achieve it - so many others post of similar success here day after day. That you are here proves you are ready and in the midst of a turnaround in your fitness. :-)

MFP is a wonderful tool, and the community is great. You'll find nothing but encouragement, motivation, ideas, and the information you need to reach your goals.

I just tightened up to the last notch on my current belt - before coming to MFP, I was only comfortable on the second loosest notch.

Change is possible and progress is real. Stick with a healthy diet and a pinch of exercise, and within just a few weeks, you won't believe the progress you'll see and feel.

Don't let the holidays scare you - even before Halloween, you'll be enjoying so much success and motivation that you won't have to fear falling off the wagon. And guess what - with an otherwise steady, healthy, consistent diet, you can pig out for Thanksgiving and Christmas - it won't "blow your diet" because your diet will have already become your lifestyle - reaching and maintaining your goal weight will be the natural course, not the exception to the rule.

Best of luck! We're all here for you. :-)

I'm not from Arkansas but I can encourage with the best of them!

I second what everyone else is saying: MFP is the best tool I've ever used to lose weight. There's just a TON of support. Plus, the calorie counter and exercise stuff. It's like a delicious burrito - all the good stuff wrapped up in one spot.

Enjoy your stay here @ MFP and feel free to add me!
