in Introduce Yourself
Hi There!

I was talking to my sister in law (SKlahsen) who has been using myfitnesspal. She has lost 13lbs in the past month!! She told me about the site, and on a whim I signed up. I knew I had to start doing something, so why not start now!!

I've input my breakfast and lunch for the day and I'm already over in all categories except for fat.... I guess we're drinking water for supper! ;) just kidding.... tomorrow is a new day, and now I have benchmarks to keep me on track.
I can set long term goals no problem, but they are so broad and far off that I never attain them. With the trackers on this site, it helps me set daily goals. Much more attainable, and far more rewarding.

Ready.... Set.... GOOO!!!

Mary

    Welcome! This site is wonderful for helping you keep yourself accountable. Along with the wonderful forums and users, it makes your lifestyle change pretty painless. If you have a smart phone, I very much recommend downloading the MFP app as it is free and wonderful for when you're out and about. I think you'll enjoy it here. Get involved and make friends, join a group or a challenge and make this a priority in your life! You can do it! :D

    Welcome!

    Knowledge is power!! I found that I was truly surprised by the calorie counts of some foods when I started logging. Let that guide your future food choices and you will get healthier & healthier!

    Best of luck!
