Wow, look at all the new faces! Welcome all of you guys that have joined up in the last few days and weeks. I guess it really is true what they say about new diets starting in the spring (although we don't call it dieting, we call it a lifestyle change)
Anyway, don't get me wrong, I don't mean Newbie in the derrogatory sense, we are delighted that you have decided that MFP is a good place to start your journey (or continue it!). Over the past 6 or 8 months some of us have put out some great, informative posts that have helped many on MFP. I hope you will take a few minutes and read them, they can be very informative and may head off some questions you ask before you ask em. :happy:

What's that thing called that is intended to slow you down as you drive over it??

I'm a newbie to the site, but not to weight loss and healthy eating. So I know a change in lifestyle is necessary, and I know that extreme calorie deficits will wreck the metabolic rate.
I didn't kow about eating exercise calories. I'll definitely try it a few weeks to see how it goes. Slow steady loss is much better.
Thanks for the heads up on phases that I can expect. Fairly warned can make for good preparation.0 -

Lol, you should try the one I do in the gym, in some ways it's worse. Shorter, but 3 minutes at 10 mph on the tred mill is like a tiny piece of torture, feels like 30 minutes instead of 3.0 -
