Hi everyone. Found MFP through my iPhone apps this week. Off to a good start, hoping to keep it up!! Amazing to see how many calories the food I eat is made of... I am so thankful for the tracking journal - until I see it in firm numbers, I really don't realize how much I am eating!
Good luck to everyone else in their new path to being healthy! Wish me consistency & permanency. =-) Tara

    Hi Tara,

    I too found MFP through iPhone apps just yesterday, and I am so far excited and motivated by the support I have received. You can do anything you set your mind to, and together we can do even better! Feel free to add me as a friend for support and motivation :)

    Welcome, and good luck. Before I started MFP, it was difficult for me to understand why I'm sooo fat! I really didn't eat that much....so, I thought. Once I began MFP, I started seeing the actual calories that I was putting in my body. This made me understand "why I'm fat!" Now, I look up EVERYTHING before it goes in my mouth. I track it all. I intend to keep on this path until I reach my final destination, and beyond.

    Welcome and good luck!!! It is amazing how many calories you eat without thinking about it. I have lost 10 pounds just counting the calories and eating healthier. :)
