    I'm fairly new at this myself and have come close to giving up a few times. What helps me stick to it is having the app on my smartphone. It's encouraging that I can scan a barcode and get instant information on most products. That makes it super simple to log my meals and add recipes. My original goal was just to track what I was eating to see if I could figure out where I why I was suddenly gaining weight, but I found that MFP makes it really easy to make better decisions. That encourages me to stick with it. By the way, I did find my answer...I eat a lot. I've only made minor sacrifices in what I eat but I'm learning to control my portions and finding that I feel satisfied with a "normal" portion.

    You can do it. There is plenty of motivation on the message boards to keep you coming back. Good luck! :smile:

    I've only been on for about a month and find this more helpful than Weight Watchers. Hopefully, I will continue to lose weight, but I enjoy being able to carefully monitor what I eat.
