This site was recommended to me by a co-worker. Her husband lost 40 pounds with the help of myfitnesspal. I was very impressed by what she told me so I have decided to give this a try. I lost about 50 pounds about 5 years ago on my own by changing my eating habits and exercising daily. I need to lose another 30 pounds but I am having a terrible time getting motivated to exercise more and am starting to make bad food choices daily. I am hoping that joining this group will help me attain my goals.

    welcome! I, like you, am new! I find everyone here to be very supportive, as well as the food counter to be AMAZING in helping me decide what I put into my mouth. You can lose that weight!!

    Welcome! This site is very supportive and keeps me motivated to keep on making the right choices. Without MFP I would have never been able to lose the 25 pounds that I have already lost. It took me two months to lose 6 pounds before MFP!

    Welcome... I've been here just under a month and I have found the food counter as well as exercise counters to be very accurate. The plan it sets up for you according to your goals has been spot on! And of course the support has probably been the largest part of my success. There are some great people on here! Good luck to you, and add me as a friend if you would like....

    HELLO!!! this is my first time on a diet....its much harder than I ever imagined....I can no longer criticize people who are overweight or dieting....especially since as you can see from my name....I am a chocoholic.....i can eat a pound of chocolate in one day with my daily 64 ounces of water to go with it and no other food....the reason why I have gained weight was because I had hurt my back months ago, and after 3 months of laying on the couch in sweat pants and eating chocolate ice cream, oreo cookies and candy most of the time, I got back to work and realized that my work uniforms did not fit...thats when I got on the scale and saw the extra pounds....

    You have come to the right place. Before you know it you will get a little network of friends to help and encourage you as you journey toward your goal. I'll be one of your MFP if you invite me.

    A co-worker also recommended this site to me. I can see why she likes it. I'm just starting on my journey to lose the weight and my fitness pal will help me reach my goals. It'll be nice to reach out to others and get encouragement. Thanks.
