New to My Fitness Pal

Hi,
This is the first time that I'm using a site like this, so I hope it works for me. I've been trying to lose weight for years but have trouble keeping with the program. I do well for a bit but then get busy at work or get stressed and I'm back at square one again. I want to be healthy and not always tired and sore, and embarrassed to be seen. I'm determined to make it this time around but I can really use some support. :smile:

    You have made the first step to freedom! You may not know it yet but with determination and the right mind set, you can achieve your goals. I takes time and patience. Believe me! You'll have days where you want to throw in the towel but you can pick yourself up again and say your worth it! I have been at this for 2 years with over 100lb loss. 43 with MFP. The key is to never give up. Good luck!
