    hey y'all!!! how's it going? i just finished my first week of classes and am SOOO ready for the 3-day weekend. It's been busy because my sorority is doing recruitment this weekend and everything's been a little chaotic becuase of that, but I've still been making time to go to the gym, and trying to make healthier decisions when eating.

    i'd been doing pretty well all this week, and when i went to the gym on wednesday i was down at 153. i went a little crazy with food on thursday, though, and by friday i was up to 158! i went to the gym this morning and was back at 155, but i really don't want to ruin everything!

    Stupid question though.
    Do you just watch for posts with similar titles or actually "Join" a group like on other sites?
    Thanks!

    You can do it Kym! :) Maybe if you find walking boring you can listen to an mp3 player or something if you have one! :) That's what I do and I walk about 60-120 minutes a day :) Makes it much more fun! tehe

    Hey guys!
    I'm pretty new to MFP as well.

    I'm 19, 5'4"

    current weight (as of 1/18): 176.2

    goal weight: 150 but I would love to get down to 140

    My beginning weight on Dec. 31st 2009 was 188.8 (my heaviest = ( )

    Before MFP, I was able to lose the 12.6 pounds.

    I'm so excited that I can finally accurately track my calorie intake, as well as other nutritional facts, to help further my weight loss since I am now know what exactly I am eating.

    I will probably not be on the forum constantly but I will definitely keep you guys updated.

    I'm starting to get used to this whole eating healthy thing and I'm feeling great. I've lost about 4 pounds since the New Year, which I wasn't expecting, but I won't complain :smile: . I guess I'll be changing my Spring break goal to 137.5!

    If you have to have chocolate, I recomend sugar free moo bars, vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate, which are only about 100 calories.

    Im a teen too! Ive been heavy my whole life, but towards the end of 2009 my father was put into the hospital for 8 weeks. there were tons of people bringing food over and my mom, sisters and i ended up eating really unhealthy and on a very srambled schedule. The about 2 weeks before christmas, my grandpa got very sick from his cancer coming back, and partly i think just old age. For 2 weeks our whole family was over there and got takeout or some sort of comfort food for dinner. He ended up dying on Christmas eve and from the until new years all i did was eat. I weighed myself on january 6th and i weighed 220 pounds! I was amazed so i saw this app on my itouch and i wanted to try it. I think this is such a great idea, and i wish everyone luck.
