    I've been logging for about two weeks. It really helps me when it comes time to make a choice as to what to eat! Good luck on changing habits! I have quite a few to change too! :)

    redbird, you lost 6 lbs in the first two weeks! thats awesome, that my goal for next week also....how did you do it? what habbits are you beginning to change? and to any of you... the same question. I have gone gluten free, and thats the method im trying. so far, my bloating and gas issues have just about dissapeared, and the weight loss is nice too.

    I have tried to be more active, for one thing. I have several health problems that limit what I can do, so I am trying to find some activities that I like and will do! Wouldn't you know it, now that I am getting serious about a lifestyle change, my recumbent exercise bike goes on the blink! Aggravating.

    I am also eating three main meals and three snack meals a day, so that I don't ever get really, really hungry. When I feel that way, I can't make good choices - I just grab! Planning ahead helps, but I don't necessarily stick to a plan I made the day before. But the framework helps.

    You're more ahead than me, so feel better ahaha. But yeah, I've been logging about 2 weeks now so I'm technically a newbie. :')

    I've been a member for a awhile, but have never been active on this site (to be honest, I've never logged onto it via computer before last week and didn't realize all this stuff existed). I'd love some friends, so please feel free to add me!

    I've been logging my exercise and food for a few weeks now. I love this site!! My goal is to get to January without gaining any body fat! I usually gain weight at Christmas time with all the good food!! Now I'll have to be accountable and record every bite and every little bit of Christmas goodies that I pop in my mouth!

    I have been on here for almost a month. It is nice to see all the support. Feel free to add me. I don't have many friends either. It will be nice to have the support. My weight loss goal is slow so that I keep it off. Have a great day.

    I have just started. I have only been on for a few days already. I am trying to lose all the weight I have put on with all my pregnancies in the last 5 yrs. I am trying to conquer my biggest obstical right off that bat and that is my Pepsi intake. I have not had a Pepsi since Sunday 11/27/11 and the first 2 days were rough then it was ok but today has started to be a problem. I am really craving one right now!!! I am hoping that when I start up at the gym on Monday it will help with my Pepsi addiction by keeping my mind off of it!!! Well I wish everyone good luck and add me as a friend if you like!!! I am still trying to get a hang of this site!!!

    Hello Newbie! I am not really new but I have been away a long time so I am like new. I just got back on a few days ago! I turned vegan in January and lost 22 lbs and now I am at a stand still and incorporating exercise back into my hectic busy life and starting to strength train again and watch my food intake. While turing vegan I didnt watch any calories at all just made the transition butnow I need to clean it up even more and lose my next 20-25 lbs. I would like friends on here as well. I have never used these community boards but would like to start. Do I qualify for a newbie?! LOL

    Anyone can add me if you would like!

    Welcome :) I've only been logging for 3 weeks (third weigh in tomorrow) and fearing after a good start that I've stalled. Feel free to add me :)

    I'm in the same boat. I've been using the phone app for a couple years, but I haven't used it at all. I'm hoping by making friends on here, I'll have the support I need. It's hard because of the holidays and a couple of the girls I work with love baking, so we always have cookies and other fatty cakes in the break room.

    Hey I can cheer anyone. After all that's some motivation to have virtual friends cheering for you. I been trying to loose weight all my life. but as I got older I gained more weight. MFP has been good to teach me how to eat better. I'm in a yoyo effect but still not as heavy as i' gotten. Definitively much better endurance by working out regularly. And Im enjoying the people Im meeting here and the stories. Keep trying no matter what
    oh wow, look at all the newbies! I hope you all are adding eachother too :)
