Just introducing myself!

Hi, I'm Erica. I live in Dallas. I had been on another diet plan for 8 months (won't mention which one), and I wasn't really loosing the weight, so, and this was a tough decision, I decided to cancel my membership, and try counting calories....and I've been feeling better. I feel like my body is getting rid of all the bad stuff...in some way. Anyways, I was wondering if there are any girls or guys that would like to be buddies on here (that sounds lame)... I feel like I need more support than just my family.

Anyone interested?

    Amazingly enough, it's easier to count calories and to see what it is you're eating than to go with programs who supply you with the boxed foods and such for the simple reason you're able to learn how to eat healthy and to think about what you put in your body before you actually put it in your mouth.
    WE ALL need more support than what we can get from family; those who are going through the same thing as you understand that much more.

    Anyway, welcome to MFP:)

    Welcome to MFP....I have tried a ton of different diets and I have learned on thing since being on here, it is not about dieting it is about a lifestyle change.

    I'm new here too and i love it. This site has been great for me so far and everyone is so helpful and nice. I have found that the calorie counter is much easier for me as well (my wife does the points thing and that just confuses me for some reason)
