All my life I've been very active but since my wife and I had children six years ago, I've left myself go. After visiting the doctor's office and receiving a very stern warning about my current health and weight, I knew I had to do something about it. I started using the application LoseIt as a friend of mine lost 60 lbs using it. However, as a Hispanic, I found myself having to do lots of research about Latin food since LoseIt's catalog was lacking in this department. After a couple of weeks, I found MFP and decided to try it out, mainly because it was free. It's been about a month and a half and I've already lost almost 20 lbs and, more importantly, almost everything I eat, whether it's Latin food or not, it's in the app! Needless to say, I am a huge fan!

I would love to get in contact with similar individuals who are also fighting the good fight. Please feel free to add me as a friend. My username is Nespin31. Thank you and Good Luck to All!!!

    I too used to use LoseIt and found the app not very useful at all. I'm so glad a good friend of mine introduced me to this site it has been a huge success so far.

    Welcome to MFP and good luck on your journey :)

    Hello,

    Today is my first day here and I am looking for some people who are willing to go alongside me on this journey of weight loss and life. I hope that you'll read my profile and find that I am someone in which you are willing to do the same. Please, don't just push accept on my offer of friendship. Read about who I am, my goals, and my desires, and tell me if I am a comfortable fit. If not, that's fine too. Nevertheless I wish you all of the best .

    I'm Puerto Rican and I love that you can find stuff like, arroz con gandules, patas de cerdo, pasteles, etc.
    Welcome to MFP, this place rocks!

    Welcome! I'm also new to MFP :)

    I'm Ecuadorian and my husband is Puerto Rican. So there's latin food surrounding me all the time. I think that's my biggest challenge.
