New to MFP! Need Support!

Welcome Renee, I hope you find the support that you desire, these forums have been very helpful, informative and encouraging for me. My problem was maintaining my weight loss, I lost about 100LBS in 2012 but stopped monitoring my food intake and stopped being physically active. So I gained nearly 30LBS back. But with MFP it helps me to stay within my allotted caloric budget and be more accountable by logging all foods that go into my mouth. I also use MapMyFitness which also syncs with MFP to automatically log your fitness workouts. It has a large fitness data base with a variety of choices. So I wish you the best of luck on your journey. For me personally I've come to realize that it's all about a Lifestyle change and not just a quick fix. Losing the weight was great, but keeping it off requires a change of Lifestyle.
