Looking for change

Well i have added this page on my facebook but finally getting to the actually website. I am pretty much desperate to lose weight and I am hoping that I can follow my routine by writing everything down and visually seeing it. I am also hoping to encourage and encourage others that are struggling with losing weight and getting healthy. I know that is a long and hard struggle. Looking forward to what the future will bring

Best wishes with your weight loss! I only found this place after I got an i-phone and was able to input everything I drank and ate into MFP as I did it, quite shocking when I found out just how much I had been eating before I started mind - I nearly passed out with amazement :laugh:

Congratulations on your first step in changing your life!

Nutritionists will always tell you to keep a food diary. I always thought it was too time consuming and tried every diet out there. Always had some success, but ALWAYS gained the weight back. I came full circle when I bought an iTouch (cheaper than a month of Nutri-System) and found MFP. Keeping a diary is now easy and quick.

In the past I always wanted results NOW! But my most important break-thru was learning to be patient with dropping pounds. Day to day my weight goes up and down. Some weeks I don't lose anything no matter how good I am. But in general, I weight a little less every month, and that is progress in my eyes. I personally don't set date goals, I just take it one day at a time.

I wish you the best of success in losing weight, and remember, well all have our off days. Dont' freak out, keep on going and allow yourself a treat from time to time.. You deserve it!
