    Hi!! Welcome to MFP! I was also a fast food junkie. I kicked the habit when I had some major health issues that lead me to stop drinking diet coke, using artificial sweeteners and eating fast food. 9 days ago I began my journey using isagenix products and have lost 3 lbs and 20.75 inches. I feel healthier than I have in years!! At first I thought it was too expensive but then added up all of the money I spent on fast food and junk and realized I'd be saving money and getting healthy. I have 27 lbs to go. I've been using myfitnesspal for a long time but never for support or accountability, just for tracking my progress. With Isagenix I still need to make one healthy meal per day between 400-600 calories so it has really taught me to make the most of my allowed calories with nutritious foods. I have been using allrecipes.com or just googling nutritions chicken or fish or whatever I feel like that evening recipes and having really good luck with great recipes. Best wishes to you! You've taken the first steps and will be healthier in no time!!

    Welcome and good luck! Fast food will do it every time. How I got a lot of mine. I try to avoid it now at all costs. If I do go I try to get something healthy. Feel free to add me :)
