Hello all!

I just joined and just wanted to say hello. I'm not sure what all I can gain from this site, but I hope to make the best of this.

Thanks!

Any tips or whatever will be appreciated!

    Hi, I just joined this board today. I have been doing medifast diet for a week however when I plug my food into this site it is eye opening. I though my lean and green was fine but it turns out it was high in calories and fats. Sometimes this whole thing is overwhelming. Nice to meet you all.

    Hi! I just joined this site too, hoping to gain support with losing some weight! I have recently graduated college and with being in class all day long have gained some weight :( . Joined about 4 days ago and it is so nice to have an online food diary that breaks down calories, fat etc. I actually have started thinking about my food choices more these past few days because I don't want to go over my calorie limit for the day! Please feel free to add me as a friend on here! Thanks! ~

    Nice to meet you too! I know, the calculations on the food diary are eye opening...even after only just joining this site I am thinking about how what I eat will translate into on this site.. :)

    I am a newbie too ... this is about my third week. I started my journey when I bought a NutriBullet and wanted to be healthy and give up the pop and junk food that I had been consuming previously. I quit all that stuff cold turkey .. and started on a healthy road.

    But I realize it will be a long time before I reach my goals but I am prepared to do the work.

    I hope you enjoy your time here at MFP. Feel free to add me if you like.

    Hi! I downloaded the app from this site on my blackberry a few months ago and used it for a good month before I started feeling a little too obsessed with counting calories. I didn't actually realize there was this whole site and community on the site.

    Now that I have I am back and planning on using the app and this site. I would love to make some friends here to help keep me focused and i hope I can do the same for them!

    I started taking Zumba classes twice a week this past week and have been doing a great deal of walking every day. I am hoping to use this site and the food and exercise tracker as a guide. Not sure about the 1200 calories a day, but I do plan on using this to keep me accountable of what I am putting in my mouth and how active I am actually being.

    23 year old from Kentucky! I've found the more motivational support I have, the easier weight loss/exercising is becoming! I'm online daily, love to comment, post, and talk to everyone! This journey would be so much harder without all the great people I've met on MFP!
