in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,

I am on day two of MFP and so far I love the tools. It is truly amazing how tracking your intake can influence behavior in such a positive way. Entering your diet is simple compared to going out putting in the time to burn those calories at the gym. I am thinking that being part of the community and seeing the results of others can be a great motivator. So I'd love to hear all the good stories and get some help to kick my butt in gear.

John

    Hey.
    I'll be glad to help in anyway I can, the only thing is I have to be able to read your diary. Add me if you like.

    I joined a few months ago, but I have been on this journey for a little over two years. I let 25 pounds sneak up on me over several years, and my doctor finally let me have it. I rejoined my Jazzercise class and took off about 18 pounds in 6 months and played a 2 pounds up 2 pounds down for over a year.

    So I joined MFP and finally realized what I was doing. I also purchased a Jawbone UP that tracks the steps I take during the day, and I can also add in my workouts in it, and it all syncs with MFP, so I not only get an accurate picture of how many calories I am eating but what I am burning.

    Anyway, only a few more pounds to go! My doctor is happy with me, as I am well within my healthy BMI, and I feel decades younger, and much more energized.

    Good luck to you, you can do it.

    Hello everyone!

    I've been around here for a while, but am currently 'restarting' from being on vacation.

    Anyone is free to add me! I love meeting new people who have similar goals to mine.

    I'm currently wanting to lose 75+ pounds.

    Greetings!!

    I joined MFP last night. I figured this is the next step to help motivate me further and keep better track of my progress.
    I'm horrible at keeping track of how many calories I eat and burn.

    I'm new here too. I'm a former Marine who never rests so if you ever need motivation let me know and I will shame you mercilessly into staying on point.

    :)

    Welcome, it's fun here and the math makes it so easy to know what to eat and when.
