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.
