in Introduce Yourself
Just found this app yesterday when I started checking up on some calories in my meals. I've been planning on getting back on track for new years, but didn't actually have a plan. This app is going to help immensely!! I've gone up and down at least 4 times in the last two years, and can't do it again. I need to go down, and stay down. I'm not in a race to drop this time around, but am really looking for long term effectiveness. That being said, I'm absolutely serious and would love nothing more than the support and encouragement of others, and I promise I'll give the same in return!! Let's do this!!

    You can do it! I am in the same boat, I had a large weight loss about 10 years ago and then have gone up and down over the past few years. I would also like to stay down and for the long haul! Welcome! You'll love MFP, great app and website and lots of encouragement on here.

    Feel free to add me. MFP is the only thing that's ever worked for me. It's been a great tool for teaching me to eat in moderation.

    I've only been here since August and prior to that I was just hitting the gym hard and getting nowhere. Now I feel like I have direction and support. I know how much I need to exercise and how much I can eat. That's been a game changer for me.

    I can honestly say that for the first time in 10 years, I feel healthy.

    I've been doing the same thing, riding that roller coaster. My weight fluctuates, but as soon as I start doing good I sabotage myself but good! I've only been on here a few days but it's got a good feel to it. Good luck,

    I'm sending you a friend request. Setting an example for your new arrival is great incentive. One of my motivations to start my journey a year ago was to set an example for both of my kids. I will do what I can to help motivate/encourage/inspire you along your journey. Its time to get your fierce on!

    I have been slowly gaining weight even though I know better. I like this app because it goes where I go and that way I can log my foods when I eat them. Keeping track of my exercise is an added bonus. Plus having a network of friends to push me along. Please feel free to add me as a friend.
