Day Two and I am Still Here

LESLIEBARRE

First thing I thought of this morning was to go on My Fitness Pal, and record my evening snack to keep up with my calories lol. Here I am this morning trying to learn the In's and Out's of the program and the Good Friends I will meet

I feel confident about this program, and I am Truly Excited! :happy: Thank You to those of you that have made me feel welcomed and I can not wait to see changes being made in my life!

Thank You Friends, :happy:

I joined a week ago and I love MFP. At first I was a little skeptical, but wow, the pounds keep coming off because I'm eating less due to my calorie counter and I don't even feel hungrier.

I wish you all the best of luck!!

I joined at the end of June, but went on vacation the first week of July. Since then I've lost about 14 lbs (not counting the ones I gained back and re-lost :laugh: ) I MFP!!

Logging my food has helped me control my portions and going over my calories encourages me to exercise to offset.

Best of luck to you!

I've been on this website 2 weeks as of yesterday.......I love it !! I gotta admit I never knew keeping track of what I eat could be so helpful. Actually seeing it in print seems to make a difference. I also like the fact that when you log your exercise it adds the calories burned to your calorie intake for the day. That way you know how much "extra" you can eat. I'm addicted to this website. I'm leaving on a 10 day vacation tomorrow morning and won't have access to a computer.....UGH ! I'm gonna feel lost without it and miss my daily chats with the ladies.

Welcome and good luck to you both. Hope to hear about your success when I return.

Joined two days ago, I jumped up and down when I could put lost one pound. :happy:

I LOVE the calorie counter. I can't "cheat" on my calories.

Woohoo! Just take it one day at a time, and you will see great results!

Hello from Ohio! You've come to the right place. Day 2, day 200,,, this is a great tool that will work wonders. Just take a look at the before and after thread - and remember that the folks with huge successes are just like you, they just started a little earlier. You can do it too, and you will, I just know it.

This is easy - here's all ya' gotta do:

Cook smart, lotsa good filling stuff. Some fruits, lotsa veggies, some grains-cereals, some starchy stuff, some lean meat. Almost nothing fried (and certainly nothing batter dipped & deep fried), and very very little pastry/cakey stuff.

Count your calories accurately with the food guide here, and stay as close to your calorie allowance as you reasonably can. If you cook properly you shouldn't be too uncomfortable on the calorie allowance MFP will give you.

Get some exercise - work that gym, walk a little every day, something - that's a huge help. Remember to log your exercise and eat at least some (I eat most) of your exercise calories.

And drink your water!

That's it, piece o' cake. Wife and I have been doing it for about 10 months now and we've done well.

You can do it too.
