I weighed this morning and I am 250.4 pounds. My ideal weight for my height, age, gender, etc. is around 140-150. So, I am officially 100 pounds overweight. For this reason, I am hitting the ground running TODAY!

I have tried using myfitnesspal over a dozen times and haven't had much success. However, I think it's been because I haven't used this site for its intended purpose. When I have logged food in the past, I have only logged calories and that's it. I haven't kept track of anything else. When I have added friends for support, I was looking for someone to pat my back every single day and tell me what a great job I was doing. If one day went by and someone didn't respond "Great job!" then I would get discouraged and give up. (I know, that's lame. But I'm being honest with myself.) This time, I have to do something different.

With that being said, I have opened my diary up so friends can view my food intake and exercise. Starting today, I will log every bite of food that goes in my mouth. I also need a few reliable friends who can show me where I'm going wrong and teach me how to do things the right way. I don't want anyone to pat me on the back everytime I do something positive. I just need someone who will occassionally view my food and exercise log and either let me know I'm going in the right direction or let me know I've eaten one too many ice cream sandwiches (which I tend to do quite often...I know, I'm working on it.)

So, if anyone out there thinks they can help me, please feel free to add me. I really can't do this alone. I don't have the knowledge to do this alone.
