    Glad you are here. Success is not in an all or nothing attitude, so no exercise at first - fine by me.

    I started small - just logging with no intention of "dieting" - then after the first day - I didn't want to eat like that again. It was obvious to me what I was doing - the pattern was clear in that darn food log.

    So I started tweaking. I am not on any specific plan - I prefer unprocessed foods mostly, but ate a slice of pizza and a chicken sand at mcdonald's last week. Perfection would doom me, especially during my work year.

    I say start, then tweak here and there - ask questions - friend feeds are the safest place to ask without causing the bullies to start world war III. Sift through the advice, see what fits and make a tweak. My tweaks are really adding up. I've ignored plenty of advice that didn't fit my needs.

    Friend me if you want - I got your back.

    While Im not new to MFP, I started in earnest in May. It was a real eye opener when you see just how much calories/sugar/fiber etc is in the food you are used to eating. Eating out is horrible for counting - that is all I wanted to do before, now I see how much you sacrifice and opt to eat in.

    hello!! I´m new here in MFP but I´ve been training for several years.
    I´m from Venezuela, I hope to learn these things about calories, I´ve just tried to take care about fiber&proteins, I´m 25 years old and I think my metabolism is changing through the years...
    I don´t know how this web works but I hope to meet people to share my goals and ask any doubt that I could have in future....
