    Once you are "out of denial" about your eating habits and weight needed to lose, you will LOVE logging on and putting in your food and checking out how everyone is doing. It will become second nature and just part of your day. Just do it and it will become habit. Sending you a friend request!

    It is amazing how well it is working for me. I think the main thing is tracking what you eat, being more aware of calories. Don't be afraid, its all good.

    Me too! I just started about a month ago, and I'm still learning the ropes, but I'd love to be one of your Fitness Pals! Stay with it. It is only recently that I have started to notice the weight coming off, but it IS coming off for me, and it will for you, too!

    I am in the same boat. I should have waited to start counting until after the superbowl! Yesterday was not a good calorie day. Let me know if you need some help!

    Feel free to add me - we all have that fear on some level -- one day at a time - it's a process...
    If you can get some good habits going things you will gain some good momentum.

    Also as you log more your favorite foods will be there already so it makes logging easier.

    Also highly recommend the phone app - many products you can scan the bar code and the nutrition data gets input automatically... (I have the iPhone)

    The iphone app also has a much more comprehensive display of nutritional values than the site where you have to pick 5/6 things (sugar, sodium etc) to display on your daily intake.

    Also I just use estimates - I can't live my life by a measuring cup - but some people do and love it... it has worked pretty well for me with estimates though.

    Good luck - you can do it! Feel free to add me, or perhaps I will send you a request (If I don't include a note it's because I did here :)

    do you use the MFP app on your phone? It has a barcode scanner which I find makes it SO EASY. Scan, done, entered, eat :)

    Best of luck and don't give up! Remember it takes time for your body to change, people expect to loose 50 lbs instantly, it just doesn't work like that (well not in a healthy way at least!). Don't get discouraged and keep focused, I use mini goals/challenges to keep me on track :) If I said "I want to loose 35 lbs by summer" well guess what, I would slack off a week (or month) here and there until summer comes and no weight is gone (story of my life every winter lol).:grumble: But this year I said "I want to lose 5 lbs by (insert date), and another 5 by (insert later date)" As a result I am AHEAD of schedule on my 35 lbs goal :) only 11 lbs to go and it's only the start of February! :happy:
