edited October 4 in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to say Hello, I am new to MFP and am in the process of Refocusing my nutritional needs. Since I started my journey I have used Carb counting over Calorie counting (with the help of my dietician) and this has worked for me the past 28 months. I needed a change do to hitting plateau's lately so I decided to start focusing on calories in/ calories out while still watch my carb's and fat..... So far (Doing MFP for 2 weeks) I am down another 5lbs. the past 2 weeks bringing my current weightloss to 281lbs. I have been a logger from the beginning (food, weight,exercise) so this process is not new to me just nice to have the app to do it on my Smartphone. I have had to overcome my food addictions and severe social phobia issues too. So me posting to message boards is way out of my comfort zone but I feel it is a fear I need to face so here I am.... :-)
