Hi! I'm Cyndi and I'm new to myfitness pal

I've been using the weight watcher's etools for over a year now, and I like them, but lately I've been frustrated with how slow the site is. I joined myfitnesspal a few weeks ago and I'm very impressed with the robust database. It's easier to find the correct food on this site. Also, I'm a pescatarian (vegetarian who on rare occasions eats fish), so I really like how this site keeps track of my protein intake.

    Welcome! I just started my fitness pal in the middle of last week. I also did weight watchers at the beginning of the year and it took me about 3 months to lose 10 pounds, however I wasn't exercising as much then as I am now. So far I have lost 5.7 pounds with my fitness pal since I started last week! And I agree the tools on this site are very easy to use. Hope you like it and good luck!
