Hey you can lose 15 in no time with MFP and some exercise.
i dropped 11 pounds in a week from just sitting on a bike 4 times a week and burning 500 cals.
good luck on your journey0 -
Hi Sonia, I started here about 3 weeks ago I think. I have read that other people tried other sites that were more complicated to use compared to this one. I like how easy recording food and exercise is. It's cool to meet so many other people who are all trying to achieve similar things. One con is that when you add your strength training, it doesn't allow you to put calories burned. We use a heart rate monitor so we know our calorie burns. You can add it under cardio, then choose strength training, but it would be nice if it was under strength. Another con is that it would be nice for my spouse to be able to copy my food entries, since we eat the same things, instead of us each having to look each thing up. But those are both minor cons for how great everything else is! Welcome! :happy:0

Welcome to the MFP site. It is a great place for support and encouragement. You need to log every piece of food you put in your mouth, drink at lease 64 oz of water (80-100 is even better) and get up and move. You will lose the 15 pounds very easy. Good luck in your weight loss journey. It is a great place to log in to if you are having a bad day. You need to go read the success postings and it will help you get through the bumps.0

Hey Sonia! I live in Northern VA so we're not too far away So far I LOVE MFP and I've been having great success with it. The main key is to exercise along with eating healthy. I just read an article about how difficult it is to lose weight with just a change in diet. Any excuse you can find to move around (clean the yard, chase after the kids, walk around the mall), is a step in the right direction! Feel free to add me as a friend for support, that's the best part about this site. It's easier to do this with friends than alone0
