in Introduce Yourself
My name is Lisa. I have been using this site for a few days, consistently. I've been a member a bit longer, but didn't really use it. :blushing:

I like that I can input my food and then know my calorie counts. I've been on other sites like this one, but I find MyFitnessPal is more user friendly for me. :happy:

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. I worked out this morning, and I feel great! :bigsmile:

    Hi Lisa, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :smile:
    I'm the same as you, I've pretty much tried EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE! But, nothing really worked until I came here to MFP!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    Welcome, Lisa,

    I hope that MFP will be the answer for you. It has changed my life.

    I take it one day at a time and stay open minded to new idea.

    I started with baby steps and have made remarkable changes in my attitude and outlook about food, exercise and life.

    I wish you success on your journey.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Hi, Lisa! I'm new, too. I also find fitness pal's food tracker to be more user friendly that some other sites. I want to encourage you in your goals and wish you lots of good times along the way!:smile:
