Hi everyone. I didn't plan to ever post anything on here, but today for the first time I saw the section for "motivation" and thought it was great so I'm introducing myself. I've been doing mfp for a week now and I really do feel great so far. This tool has been nothing but educational and motivational. I don't feel like I'm dieting at all...just making better decisions.
I know it isn't just about pounds lost, but I think I'm going to buy a scale anyway...I'm curious what it will say.
Recently I was motivated to step up my exercising from walking to doing the cardio portion of P90X. I just finished day 2 of doing that. It was difficult for me, but I'm really proud I forced myself to do it again.

Wish me luck!

Congrats on deciding to take the steps to make the changes. We all started somewhere and I'm sure with your great attitude, you'll have great success!

Hi and welcome! I feel the same way about logging. Before I started logging my meals on MFP I really had no idea how many calories I was eating. I also wasn't exercising and used an old hip injury that flared up regularly as my excuse. Now that I have been exercising regularly my hip has actually improved. :happy: After logging for a few weeks and making better food choices I decided to switch to low carb eating and I am doing great with it. Different things work for different people and low carb works for me.

Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend if you like, I would be happy to try to be there for you on your journey. Oh, and I just started the P90 program (original as I already owned it) and am feeling really great about it!
