Ready to get on the ball!

Hello!

I am a married mom of an 7 year old. Ready to get in shape an eat healthier so I can pass on good habits to her....and to be around a long time for her. I've tried it all-weight watchers, atkins, curves. I believe they all work but its all about us(me). Everyone has to find there perfect fit and right motivation. I was always looking for the "trick". The quick fix. The easy way. My sister in law got me to try just plain old simple calorie counting.....who knew? The simple way IS the easier way. Just have to keep motivated! Hoping this site will help! So far so good!

:flowerforyou: Welcome to MFP! If you use the food and exercise diaries they provide here you can't help but lose the weight that you want to. 37 of my 57 pounds lost have been since joining this site since last July.

Good luck on your new weight loss journey!

Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
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! :noway:
Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works.
Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP!
Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
As for exercise, it doesn't always have to be awful. For my exercise, I walk almost every day, (weather permitting!) I also dance to a fast oldies CD that my husband made up of all my favorite old songs. (Like "Love Shack", Wild, Wild West", "Mony, Mony", "Footloose", and "Gloria")
It's free, (unlike a gym!) fun, and I can even watch tv at the same time, so I never get bored! :happy:
I also recently aquired the Wii Fit, and jog to that, which is a lot of fun, and easy too!
So, to make a LONG story short, make good food choices, eat in moderation, get some exercise, and you WILL lose the weight that you want to!
