edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I'm finally doing this hard-core. I've always ALWAYS been overweight (except for when I was a little kid, and I thought I was even though I wasn't really). Since starting MFP a year and a half (almost) after having my daughter I've dropped 11 lbs and a pant size (thank you P90!). For the first time in my life I realize my goal is possible: some day I might be able to sit down and NOT have my stomach push out over top of my pants. I MIGHT actually one day feel comfortable in a bathing suit! All I have to do is buckle down and commit to it. But I could never have done it without this site and tracking my calorie intake. I just don't have the natural common sense to realize what I put into my mouth goes to my *kitten* and hips and stomach.

Anyway - exciting times! :-) and hello!

    I freaking love it.
    I always heard that tracking calories made a huge difference in weight loss but I wasn't motivated enough to carry a pencil and paper around.
    The BB app made it SO MUCH EASIER. And I always have my BlackBerry on me anyway... So awesome.
