    I've used a lot of other sites, but this has (by far) been the easiest to log my food and exercise. I have been a long-time food journaler and have abandoned my food notebook and use only this site now. It's great.

    I too started with a lot to lose (150 lbs!) and am down 73 lbs so far. This site is valuable. Make friends and log on often. You'll get great encouragement and find lots of advice and info.

    Good luck!!!! You CAN do it.

    Welcome to MFP! It's a great site! I know I wouldn't be where I am now without it. Just stick with it and you'll get there.

    Welcome! I came from DailyPlate (and sometimes used Sparkpeople)... found this site by a ticker on someone's signature on a totally unrelated message board. MFP is different - in a GOOD way. Love it here! :flowerforyou:

    Shawna,

    I am glad you're here! I KNOW you'll see amazing change here! I am new here too! I've been here two weeks-ish and I've lost 3 lbs already! This is big for me.

    I want to make sure you read something I ran across yesterday. It explained a lot to me about how I lose weight. It was new information... and I want to arm you against making the same mistakes I did...

    Welcome!!!

    Hi there, I have tried many many different sites to log my food and workouts plus the forums are the most important decision decider for me, and by a long shot this one is my favorite by far, the boards are always active and everyone is so friendly and helpful, I will never cheat on you MFP this is one relationship that will be for life lol :flowerforyou:

    hehehe my sister recruited me over to calorie counter and I tried it for her. It was just too confusing. This site is VERY USER FRIENDLY and can NEVER be replaced!!! HEIDI
