    Hello friends!

    Welcome! Just remember this is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change! I love myfittnesspal.com because it has taught me that I can eat anything. When I tell people that I still have ice cream, potato chips, can dine out and eat the food I make my family for dinner they are shocked. I have also learned about healthier substitutions. I started my new journey on March 23 and am down 70 lbs. If I can do this anyone can. Portion control, exercise, and friends on MFP have been my key to success. I log almost every day and have an open diary. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    You'd be surprised how eating majority veggies with little starch and lower amounts of processed foods will give you a decrease in weight. Food is fuel for your body, if you feed it junk you'll feel like junk.

    And your stomach will actually shrink over time, so it feels hard at first to eat so little calories, but you'll get use to it :)
