HI My name is Vicki and like you I am hoping to have found a wonderful motivator for weight loss. I am 37 years old and have never really struggled with weightloss until the last few years. It seems like no matter what I do I continue to gain. I started this program (app) just a few days ago and love it so far! My goal weight is 140. I have 22 pounds to go!

    Hi Vicki, I'm Nicky :)

    I joined this app approx 10 days ago and lost 2lb (1kg)in my first week which is really exciting! If it is working for me it will definately work for you too. I'm in a similar situation to you, tried a few things but they didn't really gel but this is great so far. If you want some support feel free to add me as a friend

    Vicky, joining MFP has been awesome for me. I never realized how much food I was eating. The calorie counting has really opened my eyes. If you have any questions, just post them. And the responses will just flow (sometime overflow:-)) in.The best part is that I have others encouraging me and praying for me as press on to my goals. If you stick with it, you will meet your fitness goals.If you need any help just let me know.

    Blessings to you,

    Jack

    App is an "application" on a mobile phone.

    Welcome! Logging is one of the best things you can do so it's a great step you've taken! I lost 40 lbs a few years ago (and have kept it off) by logging what I ate/counting calories (on another website not nearly as user friendly) and it became second nature - it will really help you stop and think about what you are putting in your mouth! I'm new here as well but am finding GREAT motivation! Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like! WTG on taking a great step and congrats on your journey - you will accomplish great things!
