    I'm really new too!! It's always good to have extra motivation and support where you can, I've been a bit slack about engaging with the community on here but seeing other peoples success stories and ideas is a great way to keep my motivation up. Have sent you an add request :)

    Hi, I have been on here for two weeks now and have realised just how much rubbish I do eat on a normal day to day basis. It's the snacking in between that gets me... but now, I snack (if I have to) on Belvita or kelloggs moments (they are really low in the bad stuff and don't taste horrible). Clemantines and plenty of fruit (not bananas) instead of chocolate. I have lost 4lb now by cutting out all that rubbish, lessened my servings of meals, don't always have bread (take a look at that, brown can be worse). What seems to work for me is to basically plan next day of food the night before, then you have a good idea of what your goal is!
    The best thing for me (surprisingly) is that I turned down a chocolate muffin, shocking everyone who knows me... but I did it and felt really good (not at the time, but afterwards). :noway:
    Good luck with this and keep in touch.

    Hi :)

    Congrats!!!

    I also just joined MFP to lose weight for my wedding, getting married in August and want to lose about 33lbs - hopefully by June if possible...

    I've found MFP absolutely awesome and people have been so encouraging!

    I'll send you a friend request :)

    You can add me if you want, but I will be honest. I don't like the low calories your eating (looked at your food diary). You are starving your body. I use to do the same thing and sure at first I lost, but then I was drained, tired, and the weight was slow coming off. I lost 40 lbs before joining MFP and my ticker shows 3 as of last week. (I joined MFP on 1/16/13). I will be doing my weigh in for this week on Saturday or Sunday. When people say, it takes more to eat to lose weight, they are not lieing, it works. it kicks up your motabilism and you have more energy than you know what to do with. I wish you luck and if you want me as a friend. add me, but it is gonna be hard to be encouraging/motavational to you with such low calorie counts. (under 1000.. OUCH)

    I have been told i need more calories before but the problem is, i eat when im hungry. The things i do eat fill me up aswell. And i drink so much water during the day that i dont tend to snack. Im trying very hard to up my calories though.

    Do you guys have any advice on healthy but higher calorie meals that i could try out?
