New to MFP and just wanted to say hi. I am mid 30's and have struggled with my weight my whole life, from a very young age. At one point in my life I had lost over 100 pounds, but I did it the wrong way and of course it came back and brought a few extra pounds with it. Since then I have been a serial yo-yo dieter. I need to buckle down and get serious, I am tired of being FAT and unhealthy! This sounded like a great place for motivation and to support one another. Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Nice to meet you all, and good luck with your goals everyone!

I am new too, trying to lose weight for my sister's wedding. I was down 7lbs but appear to have put up2lbs this week. I do 20/30 mins per night on stationary bike at home and try to do it at lunch in work on a Monday/Wednesday, so its double the amount I guess. Am raging I am up 2 this week but it happens I suppose. 1200 cals in my limit and I try stick to it. If I am allowed 1200 cals per day and I earn say 200 cals on the bike, should I then eat 1400 cals? OR is it better not too, am a little confused. Thanks in advance to you all. PS well done on so many success stories.0

If you exercise and it says you can have more calories it is not a bad thing to eat them. Remember slow and steady is what it takes for healthy weight loss, so feel free to use those extra 200 calories. This isn't a sprint it is a marathon.0

Welcome! I've only been here for 6 weeks and it's changed my life! I lost a ton of weight a few years back too really fast and it came back on even faster, MFP has been a great eye opener for me. I started because I'm in my sister's wedding and I'm the only big one, the other girls are all super skinny models... oh well I'm doing this for me right?0

I've been on fitness pal for a while but I got lazy and stopped tracking my food. I'm orginally from Canada but ended up in S. Texas. I've put on about 30-35 lbs so I'm back tracking everything and have also joined a little gym by my house. This is week 1 for me (this time). Would love to be friends with others on this site.0

@valerie
If you're from Canada, i understand... i pack on the pounds during our winters here in Winnipeg lol... i call it "insulation". But that's just my way of not feeling bad about it.
Good luck to you all!!! I already see the amount of support everyone is offering and it leaves me feeling positive about this weight loss attempt0 -
