Hey, I'm Alison, just now started using myfitnesspal. I have about 50 lbs to lose and to date I am at the heaviest I've ever been! Now I am ready to take my health seriously and start kicking butt :) looking for some MFP friends to start this journey!

    Take lots of photos...about every 6-8 weeks, do a face shot, front shot, and side. When you have those days that discourage you, or you think you haven't changed much, the photos will show you otherwise. I didn't do that, and I wish I would have...

    Yes that's exactly how I feel. Its going to be nice to have people on the same path as me.

    Thanks that's a great idea. Taking these before pics will be rough but one day it will be awesome to see where I started.
