    Welcome!! I started a few weeks ago and am already seeing progress! The motivation here has been awesome and inspires me to go to the gym. I find logging my food keeps my honest -- I feel guilty about logging lots of bad food, so I just avoid it! I also take it as a personal challenge to get to the gym every day to keep up with my friends on here!

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you want some extra support!

    Good luck! :)

    Hi Trish!

    Welcome to MFP! I joined about a month and a half ago and find it very user friendly, motivating, and inspiring! Add me as a friend if you like, we can motivate each other!!!

    One tip that I found helps - put up a picture, and fill out your profile info. Many people will search through the profiles for friends with similar goals, situations, etc.

    Good luck!!

    Welcome Trishkay! I've been here 15 days religiously...started over two or three months ago...but typical to me...it wasn't working fast enuf for me so I sort of walked away to find a faster way...after making myself seriously sick...It hit me HARD that the best way to do this was right her counting calories. My first week was hard....had a hard time not cheating! A friend here, told me to post all my foods even if I am over my calories and that helped me to see where my weaknesses were and when I was most hungry! So that is my first advice! Second is eat all your calories even the ones that you earn from working out. You will see many that have calories lelt over but that is NOT the way to consistently lose weight. From what I have read....keeping those calories will eventually put you into starvation mode and cause your weight loss journey slow down

    Friend me! We an motivate each other!
