Wanted: Friends and Advice

debbiemayxxx

Hi. I am a complete newby to this (MFP). Just joined last night. I have been on just about every diet going through out my life, just to keep myself relatively slim. How ever just over 3 years ago I gave up smoking and I haven't touched one since, which I am extremely proud of. Unfortunately since then the weigh has slowly crept on and I am now 2 and a half stone more than I was. I would like to make some dieting friends, who can encourage me and also give advice on recipes and how to get the most from this site. I like cooking but don't always have the time and take aways can NO longer be an option.
I have lost 3 pounds so far in the space of 2 weeks, so I am off the starting block, but I think that MFP will help even more as I can keep a more accurate track on my intake. I would love some accurate recipes that will make dieting more enjoyable and meals more fun.

Welcome to MPF!!! I know on Sparkpeople.com is where I find all my recipes, they have to many to choose from and you can break it down to exactly the type of diet your looking for. Its just like this website but with way more stuff to do on it. I like this one better cause its so much easier to work with, but I love getting my recipes off there it even gives you the nutritional facts and everything for each recipe
