in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! New here. Today I stepped on the scale for the first time in a long time and was surprised at the number I saw. ... Well maybe not so surprised considering I have noticed how tight my pants are getting. o.o Got on my phone and downloaded the app. Really hope it works. :)

    Welcome, I am originally from Oregon. I grew up in Myrtle Creek, but I have lived in South Carolina for the last 3 years. I miss Oregon terribly and will never get used to the heat and high humidity here in the south. Feel free to add me.

    Welcome!!!
    I was born and raised in Oregon...but moved to Colorado my senior year of high school (not by choice)
    Don't get on the scale more than once a week.....measure yourself.
    Seriously....the scale will drive you nuts!
    Anyways.........glad you're here!

    I lived in Myrtle Creek for 3 years. I was in middle school (Coffenberry Junior High School) when I was there! Soooooo long ago!!
    Beautiful place to live!

    Welcome to MFP, Luna. This works best when you are honest with yourself about what you eat and your exercise.
    I started out a year ago with 38's getting tight. Now I wear 32's. It takes hard work, honesty and dedication.
    YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

    Born in La Grande!
    I got started on MFP much the same way you did... 2 1/2 months later and I'm down 25 lbs and generally eating a thousand times better than before. Honestly, don't sweat the small stuff (like going over your calories by a bit), learn to listen to your body, and you'll be successful. :smile:

    I'm from Oregon too. And it does work! I prefer the app on my iphone to getting on my lap top and think its easier to journal using my phone.

    Yes! It is an amazing tool! I am in Eugene. Welcome! I can't wait until you have your first NSV= None scale victory , There are many acronyms~ SMH=shakes my head. People talk about TOM(Time of Month) way too much. But there will always be someone here to tell you: WTG! (way to go!)
