just started on this website yesterday - love it!!. My sister hooked me up and i am so grateful. Lovin all the great information and seeing everybody's stories - feeling so less alone in my struggle with being overweight. I am soooooo sick and tired of being fat. Really gonna focus on the portion control aspect of things. Even though, i pretty much have the unprocessed food thing going well, i am learning (and have intuitively felt)my portions are way too big..........so here it goes!! Hope to chat with many of you soon!

    Hi! I've been using MFP for about a month now and I am still loving it. I think a lot of us have been through portion control issues .... we are all so used to seeing the huge portions we get when eating out that it feels like that's what is a "normal" portion. I have gotten so I weigh & measure everything. Good luck on your journey and if you are looking for friends for support feel free to add me.

    Definitely know what the portion control thing is all about. I grew up in a 'better clean your plate' household and they'd pile it on.

    Oh.. and trying to figure out portions in a restaurant are fun too. I usually try to overestimate rather than under.

    Glad you've joined the site!
