Hello I'm new :)

Hi everyone!! A coworker introduced me to this site about a week ago.. This makes it really easy to track your food consuption. I have been dieting since January trying to take off baby weight (had a baby in August) as my first goal then to lose the other 40 lbs I have to lose. I am happy to say that I am less than 10 lbs away from my first goal!! Total weight loss is 18 lbs since January. I have signed up to run a 5K in October and have been training for almost 5 weeks now. I am doing things I never thought I could do and feel great!

    Hello, i'm also new! Was just about to write a post to introduce myself and saw yours so thought i'd tag along on here : ) So, hi everyone!

    I started using this site about 2 weeks ago and have lost 7 pounds already (quarter of my target loss) which has been an amazing surprise! I thought I used to calorie count before but this site has shown me I really didnt! Haha!

    I've enjoyed flicking through the posts and seeing how supportive everyone here is, its really encouraging! : ) I'm really looking forward to my MFP journey!

    Ps, well done on your weight loss so far Shysmom, thats fantastic!!

    WELCOME TO MFP! This site does make it easy to track cals and the people are terrific and so supportive.
    WOW! A 5K! That is so awesome! I can't run on roads so all my running is done on my elliptical. Wish i could try for a run of some sort, but it isn't worth the pain I'd be in after it. Good Luck to you!!!! Add me if you are looking for friends and support!!

    Hi

    I am new too, this is my first week. Been threatening to loose weight for months now but for some reason this weekend made my mind up to do it and joined this site. Love being able to track things so easily.

    Good luck with meeting your goal
