Greetings and Hello!

:drinker: Hello!

I'm new to myfitnesspal and I absolutely love it's features. I tried to loose weight before and was actually doing a good job. I started from 155 and went down to 140. Unfortunately I fell off the wagon. I gained all my weight plus now I think I think my tummy got bigger

I kept telling myself one more month and I'll go back, but it seems like I never do. Well finally I went back to the gym on Tuesday and tonight. I'm now watching what I eat again.

I did well loosing the first 15 lbs last time, but that was because I did a lot of research online. See what other people say on different sites; however, I cannot remember those sites anymore. Then I found myfitnesspal! I'm happy try it out and hopefully I meet a lot of new people who can help me stay motivated. My current weight is 155 and my goal is to end up as 125. I would be more happy if I can make it all the way down to 115. My height is 5'2''. I do some medium lifting at work for at least an hour, but that's about it. Most of the time I'm sitting at my desk.

I'm now soda free again! Ugh I can't believe after 1 year of soda free I started drinking them again!

Anyways, I'll go by the name of Binkyb00. I hope to hear from you guys.

Hi Binky, 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!

Hey Binky!:happy: Just wanted to welcome you! I recently joined this week too and you and I have the same goals and we are actually around the same height and weight so we could be each others support system. I love MFP because everyone is so helpful and encouraging! Lets make the best of losing this weight!
