Hey-plz add
Im learning my way around the site and getting started with the logging. i like it. the amount of calories in things is a bit questionable but im no expert. some things you just gotta go with.
-anywho- ive just added the app to my phone as well to keep up with everything i eat right then and there.
-I weigh 295lbs
-trying to lose 1-2 lbs a week
-main exercise is walking. hoping to break out of that soon.

would love to start building a great support system here and make a few new friends along the way :)

    Welcome to MFP. This is truly a great tool when used. I've been here and gone a few times and each time I go, I gain. Each time I come back I lose. I'll send you a friend request.

    hi There!
    Just started.. um 5 minutes ago : ) Starting over with losing weight, lost about 60 lbs with weight watchers but some of it came back, slowly but it did. I just couldnt afford it anymore, thought I would do it on my own. But obviously since I am here now that wasnt the case. Good luck with your journey!

    I started with 100+? to loose. Not certain if I need to loose more than 100. It's been so long since I've been skinny, not sure what a good body weight is and the BMI range is ridiculous 112 - 151 .....

    Anyway, I'm 50 pounds down with 50 ish to go.

    I highly recommend. Weight training. Even if you don't belong to a gym, get some resistance bands and a few weights. I can actually see definition in my arms and legs. Amazing.

    And you'll be amazed at what you can do. You just gotta try.


    Tomorrow is my weigh in and tomorrow afternoon I am treating myself to a slice of pizza - pepperoni. Yum. Can't wait.


    Happy to be your friend if you want. Good luck.

    The app is awesome. I love being able to scan bar codes. It makes entering food so much easier, and it ensures accuracy. I like the reports feature better too. I only use the website if I want to read the forums.

    I started out with 200 pounds to lose. You can add me. :)

    Hi, I have just started. I have 35kg to lose. That's the weight of my nine year old daughter. I have to lose an entire child in weight. I find it really strange when I think of it.
