Helllooo MFP :) how is everyone in this lovely community. I am a new user to the site. My goal weight is currently 105-110 pounds and im weighing in at 155-158 around there. I just burned 1233 calories today from exercise and have consumed a total of 1295. Does anyone have any advice to a new user?

    Make sure to drink lots of water. Last week, I was downing the Diet Dr Peppers like crazy and actually went up and was exercising like crazy. Water is suppose to increase your metabolism. Good luck!

    Congratulations on your choice to better your life!

    Eat well, and track your calories, weigh yourself weekly (although I admit--I weigh daily! :embarassed: ) and measure, measure, MEASURE your body parts!

    If you like to read inspiring blogs, take a look at mine :wink: located here at MFP (the address is in my signature).

    Friend me, if you like. :smile: I am always here to listen and support! :flowerforyou:
