I'm a newbie, just joined today. I have been following the Canada food guide for the past few weeks and have been losing about 400g a week.. but got a bit frustrated last week and just fell off the food-wagon big time! Today I weighed myself and was up 1kg!! A friend of mine told me about myfitnesspal so I joined up right away. I am now counting all my calories and not just ignoring - say - the cream and sugar in my coffee! So here I am. I want to lose 18kg in total so have a fair way to go but am hoping to find support and inspiration here!

For me the thing that really works best is actually seeing the calorie content in everything you eat. That has really helped me step back and take a better look at my food. Now I am making better choices. I still have my days when I break down and have some chocolate but I am still eating so much better than I ever have. This site is amazing. I also recommend leaving your food diary open. The people here are really great at holding you accountable if you eat something you shouldn't. And the more friends the better.0

welcome to MFP! I recently reached out for support a few weeks ago after trying to 'do it alone" for several months on this site (didn't work), and found a couple supportive and encouraging 'pals". Feel free to add me We can support each other, you in metric, and me in customary units of measure, it's all good! Marsha from the State of Delaware, USA0

I'm a n00b as well!
First off, welcome!!
Secondly, remove all negative reinforcement from your vocabulary. You didn't fall of the wagon, you fed your body what it craves. You'll soon learn how to listen to your body and respond.
This site is really helpful, it's been 6 days for me and I really like it.
Feel free to add me up as a friend - us Canadians gotta stick together
Ultimately, you're already on the up and up. Don't sweat the small stuff like a kilo here and there, focus on the big picture.
