    Congratulations!! I am new here also, a week to be exact. I am finding that if I log my foods it totally keeps me on track. It also helps me plan ahead if I know there is something I want to have for another meal. I lost 10#'s before joining, only 2 last week, but hey, a loss is better than a gain. More power to you and your friend for joining the gym.....gotta get moving.:smile:

    WELCOME!!!! You are so in the right place, this site is awesome. Every one is so nice and helpful and NEVER judgemental of you. I feel more comfortable talking about my weight, my health, just about anything than I do my own family and friends. Congrats for joining the gym, you and your friend are going to have fun supporting eachother during your workouts and your diet plans. And you always have us here at MFP!!! Good luck to you both!

    Welcome to the MFP community! Good luck... great job joining the gym that will really help. I find that if I actually have to GO somewhere to work out (as opposed to working out at home) I do alot better. I have lost a total of 18lbs since starting to lose weight in May. I think that about 12 of that was with the help of MFP. Stick to logging your foods... exercise everyday... you'll do great. :)
