LOL...I'm trying to cut 30 pounds off, so my future fiancee can't keep her hands off me. Just joking babe...unless you gonna do it. :) I like being able to track what i eat, cause it makes me more aware of how reckless i have been all day s i can know whether or not dinner gets to be the fulfilling experience I try to make it or if I'll be eating something that taste like porage instead. (*Raises glass*) Here's to the success that i've already claimed over my weight!

    My wife got me into this, and I've really had some eye openers. I didn't realize how bad my snacking was for my calorie intake! Holy cow! These last few weeks have been great to make sure I know what I'm putting into my body and the pounds have been coming off! (7 with MFP and 15 since I started losing weight about 2 months ago) I've found I can eat junk as long as I exercise enough to burn it all off. (it's kind of fun!)

    This whole endeavor is definitely a lot easier with a buddy, especially a spouse, or a future one! You two will be great motivators for each other both with cooking/eating healthier and exercising.

    Good luck on your journey and congrats on finding someone to spend the rest of your life with!

    From on Rich to another Hi mate.

    Yeah good point fitness pal shows how reckless I can be with my food. I have managed to get used to eating some bland food like weetabix.

    Here is a good healthy meal Chicken kebab: get some diced chicken breast onion, red pepper, orange pepper cut it up stick it all on a stick. Rather than marinade it or put sauce on, sprinkle with a bit of chile power, mild curry power and some crushed garlic if you want. and eat with rice. No sauce (may be a drop of soya) and no bread.

    It's really filling, low fat healthy but feels a bit like treating yourself to junk food!!!!

    Hi Rich,
    I just started yesterday because it is time for change in my life. I have procrastinated about this long enough and have been angry alot of the time, because weight was never a problem for me until now. I want my life back...So good luck and go forward to good things...

    I agree, when I first started counting calories here I didn't realise how much cheese or nuts etc can go up, a small portion is a high amount! Portion control is the key I suppose. Bummer right ;-) It's a good help to have the food database that can be personalised!

    Welcome to both of you! You will love this site. There is so much good information here, and I have never found a site with more complete nutrition information in one place. Makes it WAY easy to track not just calories but nutrition in general, and in a few weeks you will really start to think in a whole new way about your food! Best of luck to you both.
