Hey all, I am new to the site. I gave up on LS and migrated to this site. It seems to be just what I need to stay motivated. My goal is to lose 40 lb and stay motivated with the help of this site, my husband, and other friends I may meet on here. I enjoy walking for now (look forward to building up to jogging by the time it gets really nice out) and I like swimming. I used to swim in HS about 30 years ago... I haven't swam for 10 years. Boy am I out of shape!!! Happy losing!! :)

    Welcome to MFP. I too migrated back to MFP from LS a week ago. I have found the people on MFP are amazing - so friendly and supportive. I'll send you a friend request.

    LS is LiveStrong.com - I used that site 5 years ago and lost nearly 20 pounds. When I decided to do this again, I went straight to LS because it was what I knew, but the site was crap and basically unusable. It was better 5 years ago, and with all the technical advances I was expecting more. Also I saw that there were many other people complaining about it. I searched for a similar social site and found myfitnesspal and I LOVE IT!!! I love scanning my foods and finding out the nutritional value of what I eat. It is also very helpful to help my daughter, as she is type 1 diabetic and needs help figuring out the carbs she eats.
