Hey all, my name is Preston. Me and my wife just started this about a week ago and we are loving the app. Ive really got to throw a shout out to the fine people who made this app because honestly this is the type of program that people need to help them. they need education on the matter and inspiration while doing it. to have this powerful of a resource at your fingertips for free is simply amazing and i very much appreciate it. Me and my wife have a long journey ahead of us, but we welcome it with open arms. feel free to take a look at my blog at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/lrnlvr it will be updated throughout my process on a monthly basis and we have many goals ahead of us needing to be achieved. good luck with all of your personal goals and let me know if i can be of any assistance :)

    Welcome to my world of heart-healthy living. Unless you've already done so: get a digital food scale (best prices: WalMart). Keep a small plastic container on top of it. Keep a set of individual measuring spoons & individual measuring cups and a small, straight blade spatula. Level off ALL EXCESS QUANTITIES. Either weigh or measure & record every single item that goes in your mouth faithfully. Remember, you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL if you (1) design your own program; (2) if and when YOU are "ready"; (3) tell those loving & well-meaning friends & family, when they say that just one little amount, just this time, etc. you can ignore your program~~~let them know you're allergic to that food/drink. You do not have to tell them you break out in FAT. Never lay a guilt trip upon yourself for any reason at all. You're a WINNER and you will be successful~~~when you stay on track: one meal at a time/one day at a time. Your reward: a heart-healthy body.

    Add me to your friends if you wish (retired RN/educator)
