in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Crystal and woke u and decided today is the day to start my diet. Well i drank a glass of water and ate a bannana and though i was doing good until i found this website set up and account and the first thing i see is dont eat bannana's . Wow this is going to be a long hard process, i have no clue when it comes to healthy foods. Maybe with meeting people like you through here we can help each other out. Thanks

    Welcome! Also, be aware - that banana thing is a Google Ad, not part of the website! You can get lots of good info from the site, though!!

    I have a banana a day, and I have lost 30 lbs. Yes they have high sugar content, but they are natural sugars. I don't think I could ever not have a banana. Just don't over think this process.
    Welcome to MFP! Good luck on your journey. If you would like a friend you can send me a request.

    About the bananna, as soon as i added it in my food chart some box popped up on the side saying 5 foods not to eat, and there it was on the list a bananna.

    Haha the banana thing is a weight-loss ad aka scam.
    You can eat bananas they just have a lot of carbs.
    Eat raw carrots and bananas. YUM!

    First thing you want to do is go to General Diet and Weight Loss Help and read the sticky posts at the top.

    One is for Newbies and another is called Links in MFP you will want to read again and again. (this one is in my signature). You will find a lot of good and truthful info in these posts.

    Welcome, I have been here six days and it's been great! Don't know what I would do if I couldn't eat bananas everyday, they help with the symptoms of restless leg that I get, and also they help with cramping.

    Welcome Crystal! Feel free to add me as your friend and then you can view my food diary. I found that so helpful at the beginning when I signed up to just get new ideas for what people are eating. I also agree with everyone else, banans are good and healthy. Take care and best advice I can give you is LOG EVERYTHING. The good, the bad and the ugly. It really helps. Don't get discouraged, you will find great support here. On my "bad" days, I ask for support and the repsponses from friends in here really do help.
