                    Hi, my name is Holly and I am new to myfitnesspal.com. I downloaded the app on my blackberry as soon as it became available and so far LOVE it! It has really helped me to count my calories throughout the day.
I have two girls, ages 2 & 7. Before my 7 year old was born I weighed 125 and lost all my baby weight after she was born and actually got back down to 120. By the time I got pregnant with my second I was up to 146 pounds and gained 50 while pregnant with her bringing me to 196lbs by the time she was born. Today I weigh 160 and have been struggling to lose the last 20lbs to get down to 140 where I would be happy again. I have gone through several "cycles" of counting calories, carbs, fat, etc. I do well for a while and then give up after a couple weeks. I love food just like everybody else I'm sure.
 I just need to learn to control cravings and eat healthier and smaller portions. Anyway, like I said the mfp app has been helping me a ton! Now I'm hoping to meet some new people on here that can help me as well as me helping them.

            Hey Holly! You can do it, the website is awesome and the few people that I have met on here have been so inspiring and motivational. Feel free to add me as a friend. I am a new mother (9month old) trying to get back down to my PrePrego weight!0
