in Motivation and Support
I'm new to myfitnesspal as well. Based on a friend's success I recently bought a Fitbit, which I am loving. She also suggested that I use myfitnesspal as this is much easier to use for logging food. So here I am! Looking for an online fitness buddy to help with motivation, share success, and talk through challenges. :happy:

    LOG EVERYTHING YOU EAT !! Logging half of what you eat is good as useless. Tracking my caloric intake has been key to my weight loss journey.

    I'd start by reading this : http://www.reddit.com/help/faqs/Fitness#Diet

    It's got tons of useful information that has helped me through my life style change. I'm down 60lbs since October 2011 and have struggled everyday but have never given up. Just remember that no matter how hard it gets , to NEVER GIVE UP.

    As far as my personal experience , I've found that cutting out processed foods and eating "whole" foods has allowed me to eat at a caloric deficit while still remaining somewhat full. Ultimately it's all about finding what works for the individual , try things out and see what works for yourself. Just remember it's a life style change !

    Good Luck !

    :happy: Hi everybody! I'm also new for myfitnesspal, and have bought a fitbit ONE to help monitor my daily steps and exercise. I have lost quite a bit of weight over the past two years (120 pounds) after gastric sleeve surgery March 2010, but when I got to less than 200# I have struggled to lose any more weight. So.....now this!
