Since losing 20lbs with a previous weight loss program, I have been on a plateau for MONTHS! It's been frustrating! I came across this website and am very impressed with what I see so far. I'm hoping this will help me FINALLY get to goal. :) Just thought I'd introduce myself to you all!

    Nice to meet you!

    I've also lost 20 lbs with another fitness site, but after experiencing problems with their phone app, decided to give MFP a shot.

    Have you tried adjusting your calories to get out of your plateau?

    I was stuck at the same weight for a month, then decided to try calorie cycling and choose more whole/organic foods and I lost 4lbs in one week!

    Glad you did! I'm a newbie as well. I found this sight yesterday and fell in love. I've tried weight watcher's and lost 30 pounds and a diabetic diet and lost 40 pounds, but I always seem to gain it back. I'm trying a new approach this time with the Food Awareness Program by Dr. Shapiro. I'm trying to change my life style this time. I've also added walking 2 miles a day after work. We'll see how it goes. Good luck!!!!
