Hi People,

My name is Amy. I just joined today and have 65 some odd pounds to lose. I've been steadily gaining over the years since I had kids, etc. I've gone on different diets and find that lack of convenience is often a big problem for me when I diet. I usually have tons of different scraps of paper with calorie counts, carb counts, diet logs, and so on, in lots of different places. I like the idea of an orderly online system. Order doesnt come naturally to me, so I appreciate this free service to help me out.

BTW I'm a 37 year old mother of 3. Divorced. And food is my friend. So this is going to be hard. But its too hard being fat anymore.

    It's ok! You don't have to de-friend food. Just put it in a different perspective. I LOVE food too, which is why this system works so well for me. You got this! :)

    Hello Amy, Glad you are here. This site is so cool and helpful. Take use of this free tool and use to your advantage.
    So far I have lost 23 lbs. I set small goals for myself. Once I meet that goal, I set another small goal. It works. Keep saying yes you can do this. All my best, Debbie

    hello and welcome!

    can be hard to make time for yourself as a mummy so i appreciate that. your kids will also benefit from getting fitter. i liked mfp as i could do it for free without paying anyone to weigh me! i have learnt a lot since i joined in jan. i found the app in oct last year but dismissed it! stick with logging and exercising and you will see results :)
