Hello everyone. I read someone's post about how myfitnesspal worked for them and decided to give it a try 5 weeks ago. The smart phone app has kept me from overeating. I now know how many calories I can have during the day and still lose weight slowly. The app makes it easy to stay within the daily guidelines. I always check the app when we go out to eat. It helps me to make the best decisions at restaurants.

My first "mini" goal was to lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks. Tomorrow is my weigh in date. So far I have lost 9 pounds (as of week 4 - I only weigh once a week) and feel confident when I step on the scale tomorrow I will meet my goal. I have set up another mini goal of losing another 10 pounds in another 5 weeks. If I hadn't read someone's post 5 weeks ago, I would still be in the same place I was before. I'm glad I decided to follow through with watching what I eat. I am feeling so much better about myself and have started exercising regularly (but not strenuously . . . yet ;) ).

    Congratulations! i'm sure that you will reach your goal too and it will be something to celebrate. It is always hardest to get started and now that you've been doing it for 5 week i'm sure that you will be able to stick with it. Keep up the awesome work!
