HI all I am new to MFP. I started Saturday and so far have found it very helpful. I am a mom of 3 who recently quit smoking. I was already about 30 pounds over weight and now have added another 10 pounds or so. I am on a mission to reset my metabolisim and get healthy. The no smoking was the first step, now the weight and being more active. I read stories on here and feel more motivated, hopefully in the coming weeks I can be posting motivating stories for others to read.

    Hello there. I also started using MFP this weekend also. I find this a seriously effective tool in keeping track of daily intakes. From what it seems, it really is helping people control their weight! I can't say I'm super surprised however, when most people really have no idea what they eat on a daily basis anyways!

    Anyways, good luck to you!

    Welcome from Memphis! I've been using this for about five weeks now, and as Jonathan said, I think it helps most because it actually makes us look at hard evidence of how much we actually eat. I have lost about 20 pounds; however, I don't weigh in but once every three weeks. Good luck to you. I know we will all accomplish our goals with patience and encouragement from others!! :)
