new to the site - hello

Hi and welcome! This is a great place lots of information and easy to track it gets addicting especially when the numbers on the scale start to slide down. If you hate veggies try fruit instead! Or eat the veggies you like.

Hi, I am also new to My fitness pal. I stumbled upon the "my fitness pal" app on my iPhone an thought I would give it a go. An I am so glad I came across it. I have lost 40 kg an have 20 to go. Thiswebsite has given me the motivation that is much needed. I love the fact that you can track every thing and all the calories are there for you so you aren't wasting time to try and work it out

Hi and welcome to mfp. I'm completely addicted to this site. What I try and do which works well for miss is try and log on before I go to bed and plan out my meals for the next day so it makes my morning easier and kind of gets me in a good frame of mind. I log in later in the afternoon and update my foods if I didn't eat something or ate something I didn't plan. You might try a can of V8 for your vegetables...you get used to it after a few times. It's two servings of vegetables and 70 calories. It helps me make it through the afternoon to dinner. Have you ever tried steaming vegetables and sprinkling them with molly mcbutter and a little season salt? My kids hated vegetables until molly mcbutter and now they fight over the last bit of broccoli in the steamer. My 14 yr old son makes himself broccoli now when he's hungry which just blows my mind. My family and I have all been using the site for almost 5 weeks and we're all seeing great results. The best part is you are really aware of everything you put in your mouth. For 3 days last week I kept looking at a snicker bar in my freezer. I finally budgeted it into my snacks and didn't feel guilty eating it. I enjoyed every bite. We also make sure that if we're going out to dinner or to a family bbq, that we get some exercise in to earn extra calories. I'm am still amazed everyday at this site. It's incredible. Best of luck to you.
