in Introduce Yourself
Hi All,

I just joined today (this site was recommended to me by a friend). I'm hoping to meet and cheer on others who are on a similar journey to a healthier body. My main goal is to lose enough weight that I feel comfortable physically; I figure the body image issues will come along as a natural side effect :)

    Hello! I'm new too! I also heard about this site through a friend, and I'm already amazed at how effective it can be to actually see my calories on a list in front of me. It's so easy to lose track when you're not paying attention, eh? Good luck to you!

    Welcome, feel free to add me. I've been using mfp for a while now and it is great for tracking your macros. I'm down about 25lbs since I started.

    here are a few tips that I found to work for me:
    1. Make MFP your home page
    2. Log in EVERYDAY, read the message boards... post.. Keep your mind actively thinking about it.
    3. Don't try to change too much at once, Implement 1 change every week or so. Little tweeks over time seem to work best or at least better than butt load of change all at once
    4. Always be honest. We al fall on our way to the top, be honest, no one is judging you here... we all support eachother
    5. Keep trying new things until you find what works for you (It took me a while to find my plan and it works great for me but I wouldn't push it on anyone else)
    6. Its easier to lift weights than the burdens of carrying weight.
    7. take it one day at a time.
    8. Have a cheat day or meal, where you eat what you want
    9. Try to talk to yourself as if you are talking to your child or loved one. Often times the thing we need most is to be a better friend to ourselves.
    10. Smile. :)
    I don't wish people good luck, I never had it and don't need it! Luck doesn't get you through this... hard work does! :)
