in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! :) I'm new to My Fitness Pal and my husband and I are starting the program. We have been doing it for a week now and both of us have lost a good deal for one week (First week always seems the easiest!) I've done so many diets and tried all the fads... I'm sick of it! For both of us it's time for a lifestyle change. He has 60 pounds to lose and I have 100. Any encouragement would be wonderful! :)

Thank you in advance for supporting us! :)

Sara and James

    Hi Sara and James. Best of luck to the both of you. I started with about 40-50 pounds to lose and I'm about half way there. Feel free to add me if you would like. I log in every day, but I'm not too active in the evenings because I"m usually working...and then up half the night like tonight!
    I don't know what I could really offer you as far as exercise advice because that's where I struggle, but I'm here every day and would be happy to cheer you on.

    Congratulations on first week. Will be easier with two of you I think.

    I found it easier to have overall plan saying 2lbs per week so 6 months of loss. Then each week I set mini personal goals at the start like: under 15 stone next weigh in, BMI under 33%, under 200 lbs, etc

    Good luck

    Hello!! First off, welcome to the site! It's awesome for getting to know people and keeping yourself accountable. My biggest recommendation is to log in every day... No matter what!! Keep track of your sodium intake, luckily the site does it for you. My ultimate goal is to lose 100lbs, so far I've lost 27/100. Just keep reminding yourself that you can do this! Good luck!

    Hey! I'm brand new to this website! :) I've struggled with weight my whole life and I'm too young to just give up. So here I am! :) Not really sure what to do exactly, but I am looking for friends to support me along the way! If you're interested, go ahead and friend me! I'd love to get to know you! We're in this together!!!
