Today is my first day. I usually try things and give up. I join groups and do not share. I realize that I need to do things differently to succeed this time. My friend told me about myfitnessplan. She is excited and really likes this program so......I trust her and here I go! LOL
I am not good at these online postings but I am committed to doing better.
Thanks.

Welcome!
It's a big step you've taken and I find that this regime is the best I've ever done. You name it, I've done it. The people here are so informative and supportive.
The good thing about using MFP, is you are responsible for yourself. If you have a bad day, so what. You didn't gain all of your weight overnight. If you have a special occassion, enjoy yourself. You can ALWAYS wake up the next day and have a fresh new start. None of this 'if you eat such and such, you'll gain 2lbs so stop yourself from having it' which is advise I had from one weight loss scheme that I tried.
On MFP, NOTHING is banned. It's up to you how you make up your calories, and in time you'll find yourself making much healthier choices. It'll be hard at first, but then what isn't that's worth doing.
What I feel is the most important advise to start -GET A DIGITAL SCALE AND WEIGH, WEIGH, WEIGH! You'll be amazed at the recommened portion sizes of food that you eat. It may not seem enough, and you may laugh at the unbelievability of the size, but you will get used to it and soon, a proper portion size may actually be too much (yes, it does happen).
You're in for a long journey, but you've got loads of support and friends along the 'weigh'
