Hi, I joined MyFitnessPal this week and I am already IN LOVE with it. Being over weight hit me right between the eyes, when I was 31, and had just given birth to my beautiful son. He is now twenty years old. My husband says I can't still be blaming it on the "baby weight" I gained. I'm just saying I would have never gained 64 lbs in 1 year. He is totally worth it , I have no regrets.
NOW it's my time to lose the extra baggage! I am loving the food tool. It has shown me in 1 day how bad I am eating. Who knew the amount of calories that are in some of this stuff. I do NOW!!!

    You sound just like me! ..... I still blame pregnancy for my weight gain and my sons are 18 and 20!!

    I just joined last week and I love this site as well ..... because it is so easy to add everything I eat I am really trying to add EVERYTHING I eat.... even the stuff I know I shouldn't have had and might try to pretend I didn't..... and the instant feedback in calories is right there for yo to see instantly ..... very confronting but will hopefully make me accountable to myself.

    I had a great first couple of days and then last 2 days I slipped into my usual ways..... comfort eating when I have the house to myself, that sort of thing ..... but I just added them to my diary.... posted a message ...... and got some very supportive feedback and hopefully I'll be better today

    I will send you a friend request....

    Lisa :)

    Hi everyone.

    I have literally just joined after being told about this site from a friend. I have being getting increasingly fed up with my weight. I stopped smoking 4 years tomorrow and no matter what i do, the weight just won't stop going on, i wasnt even this big while i was pregnant, so really cheesed off. To top it all i bought a nice dress the other day, guess what, yes it dont fit, it will by Christmas though, i am so determined. I am committing myself to 30 miniutes exercise a day, besides my usual daily routine of running a house and work. Oh the joys.....
