I'm basically just starting even though I actually joined in 2008.

I LOVE the way myfitnesspal is setup. I have the app on my phone now too and its invaluable. I can't believe I did not take advantage of the food diary until now. I honestly think this will be the determining factor for me finally getting rid of this excess weight! I am almost addicted to logging my food and am becoming one of those people that actually ask FIRST for the nutritional facts BEFORE I eat what I'm being offered! So funny!

    I turned into one of those too!!! I actually now look up resturants by calorie and meal options before we pick a place...I scratched one of my old so called healthy favorites off the list by looking up the nutrition facts.

    I love that we can do that! I have a family dinner planned at The Olive Garden so I have gone to their site and planned exactly what I can eat and still be true to my plan. Who'd ever have thought this would be me??

    I started last week with the app on my phone. My husband is loving the fact that I plan out meals for dinner now. I have two young children and him and they love the fact that I cook a "well rounded" meal every night. Although when I told him it was time to go shopping he looked at me like I was crazy. We are a big red meat family!

    I joined up in May this year and then totally forgot about it until I decided that it really was time to do something about getting healthy. So just 2 weeks on and I feel great about it and not even stressing about being on a diet like I have before.
    Good luck :)
