New to Site

walkingforacure

I am new to this site and hoping to finally have success in my weight loss. Can you tell me what you like best about this site? I consider myself a "professional dieter" however, I finally have my mind in the right place to reach my goal. I have 107 pounds to lose and my new motto is "Fit before 50"......so I started this final weight loss journey yesterday. So far, so good.......see you at goal!!

HI Lori, what I personally like best about this site is the chance to meet new people with similiar goals. That way if you stay on each other regularly it makes doing the things you need to do EVERY day much easier. Before you know it you'll be super fit

This sight is great! Its motivational, the people are awesome and give great advice (listen to SHBoss...total guru!) not to mention lend an ear when you want to vent, and it's free!!! You will find yourself logging on all of the time just to "check-in" It is just awesome....enjoy and good luck!!!!!!

Hi, 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 far as exercise goes, 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 have 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!
