new sign-ups

A friend told me about this website & I signed up 3 weeks ago. After my husband saw the site, he had me sign him up too. We each needed to lose about 30 pounds & this website makes it so easy we wish we had tried it before. We have changed our eating habits, getting lots more exercise - which is hard because we are senior retirees in a retirement community & the biggest function here is eating!!! Anyway by logging in everything we put in our mouths and every bit of exercise from walking to line dancing to biking to bowling, we are hooked and are challenged each day to stay on or below our calorie goals. We have each lost 9 lbs so far!!! Congratulations on a fantastic site

Hi, welcome to you and your husband! :flowerforyou:
This really IS the best site on the web, and soooo addicting too! :laugh:
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:
