Hello Everybody.
I found the My Fitness Pal app on the Android market and decided to give it a try. I've been trying to lose weight for a long time and since I started using MFP last week I have found it so much easier to keep track of what I'm eating.
I have two awesome kids, and I want to get healthy so I can live a better life for them and set a positive example for them to follow.
I'm a manager in retail, and find it pretty hard to have a consistent routine when it comes to eating and exercise.

    Welcome! I think you'll find that having the app on your phone will help you a TON! I know it has for me! Every time you turn on your phone and see the app sitting there, you're reminded of what you're putting into your body, and you'll find that when you crave that cookie or potato chip, you think to yourself, "Do I want to have to log that for everyone to see??" and you won't eat it! :-) Good luck!!

    Unfortunately
    I've had a bad food start for the day.

    I planned on eating oatmeal for breakfast, but that didn't happen. My daughter wanted a donut and I gave in and took her to the donut shop. And I gave in to my bad habits and ate a donut and a kolache, and washed it down with a soda. But just gonna have to do better for the rest of the day.
