Hello Everyone,

I am new to this and have had numerous failed attempts to dieting before so maybe this will be the time I WIN!!! I feed off of other people's success stories!!! I am ready to get one day closer to a new and better me.

    Hi and welcome. I have been on here since May, but really didn't start really working it and entering in my info daily until 5 weeks ago. I have started seeing the pounds drop, and that's what keeps me going. Just made my first goal of 10 lbs. My next is to hit the 20 lb mark.
    Good luck with yours weight loss.

    Hello you have made the right choice by coming to MFP. Here are a few hints that have helped me.
    1. Drink lots of water
    2. Eat all your daily allowance of calories. Try not to stay under them this may trigger starvation mode. Which is bad.
    3. Take measurements and weight. There might come a week that you don’t lose pounds but you lost inches.
    4. Get your exercise in. I go on a hour walk daily and push my 2 year old in her stroller.
    5. Try to eat some if not all of your exercise calories.
    6. Build up your MFP network. The support here is amazing.
    7. Stay POSITIVE.
    8. Set mini goals to be able to reach your big goal

    Best of luck
    Jamie

That's what makes this a great place, and you'll find that you actually look forward to coming here daily to do your food dairy, meet new friends and read inspiring storys of people just like us! We are all here for each other and that makes a huge difference in wanting to make this lifestyle change, because it's a way of living not a "DIET".
