Hello

I'm new to My Fitness Pal. A friend of mine has been using it and really seemed excited by it so I thought I would give it a whirl. I have lost about 30 pounds in the last year due to health reasons and subsequent surgery. I'm still overweight by about 43 pounds but I would at least would like to keep the weight off and maybe lose a little more.

    Welcome to the forum. I only recently started using this site as well. I'm finding that no matter what I make sure I keep my food diary current and it's really helping. Introduced my son's girl to the site and she loves it. It's almost like you're accountable if you keep with it.
    Hope your health issues are behind you and you're strong on your recovery journey.
