Hello everyone,

I'm just starting with Fitness Pal this evening. It looks as if its a great aid for weight loss, I like the looks of the website much more than Weight Watchers online.

My goal is to lose 25 pounds. This has been my goal for a long time. With two young children and a job as a full time nurse, I find myself not putting aside time to work out and eat right. I need motivation and support!

    You are in the right place! The app and website are a great aid to weight loss. I started working out 10 weeks ago and had stalled until I started using this app and keeping myself honest about what I was eating. Now I am 21 pounds into my 60-pound weight loss journey and feeling totally confident I'll get there.

    There is nothing like early success to keep you focused and there is nothing like good control of what you eat and what you burn to give you that early success. Be diligent, stick to it, and you will get there and feel like a million bucks.

    Good luck!

    Welcome! I've been here for two weeks and this is definitely the place for me. Living healthily is starting to become a pleasant addiction! : )

    I've added heaps of people as friends (particularly those from the same country as me) and it's really inspirational getting support from and giving it to a group of like-minded people, all here for the same purpose.

    Enjoy it!
