Hi my name is Greg I have been dieting and working out hard since Aug. and I have lost 52 pounds. I found this website looking for iPhone apps and so far it kicks butt. I would like to lose another 50 pounds before turning my focus to muscle building. I have had much success setting attainable goals. I found using holiday's,b-day's ect. work good for setting them. I have learned you first have to get your mind right or this will never work. I believe this site will help me reach my goals better by making me more accountable by tracking everything that goes in my mouth even the little handful on crackers my kids were munching on. I have two kids and a wonderful wife of 11 years who I want to be there for.

    Hi Greg, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Congratulations on the great job you've done so far! :drinker:
    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 rest of the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    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. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
