    Welcome to MFP! I have found this site very helpful. It really helps me to stay motivated and accountable for what I do - especially what I stick in my mouth.
    If you would like a friend to help keep you motivated send me a request.
    Hope you have a positive experience too.

    Welcome! It's the first thing that helped me. I kept my POST-pregnancy weight for 10 years now. I think it's time..... Thank your husband for me for serving our country.

    GOOD LUCK!

    This site is one of the best FREE tools I've ever been told about online. I absolutely love it. I'm a mother of two and I hadn't lost all my baby weight from my 1st baby when I got pregnant with my 2nd (1.5 years later! agh!)...I still had about 6-8 pounds to go...and this time, I wasn't too careful about what I ate and didn't deliberately exercise...chasing a toddler helped me a little though.

    MFP really keeps you accountable if you make it a point to log in everyday. I love it so much that I log in much more than that!
