Hello everyone. I have heard about myfitnesspal and I decided to give it a try. Have tried WW in the past and found it difficult tracking foods because I couldn't determine their point value. I work out regularly but still need to lose around 15 pounds. I am hoping this site is easy to use and track with because what started off as five pounds to lose became 10 and now it's 15 pounds!

    The app is great. Easy to add your meals. Works wonders for me. I just have to remind myself to stay vigilant and add each meal

    Welcome!! I think you will find MFP very easy to use. Be sure to read the stickies at the top of getting started message boards. Like this one below.

    I am trying to figure it all out. I just figured out how to scan foods. That is awesome and so much easier than counting points. I think I have synced my Fitbit device up but I am not too sure yet! I will look at the stickies next! Thanks

    Hi. Sorry it took me so
    Long to reply. I just figures out how to find my postings and the community postings! The mobile site is a bit different from the website I first logged onto! Anyway. I would love to help and support each other out! I think we all need as much encouragement my as we can get. How are you guys making out so far?

    Hello. I'm new to this, Just downloaded the iPhone app just before Christmas to keep track and stay focused on my gluten-free diet in the new year. So far I have lost 2 pounds in around a week and i love the app so far.

    Hi all, I am looking to lose 15-20 pounds - by June. I work out 4-5 times a week but excercise isn't cutting it for me. I have muscle and I know that weighs more but I need to lose the weight from my belly and torso.
    Lismarieeebxo - good for you for losing 2 pounds in 1 week! Do feel a difference since you went gluten-free health-wise?

    PS - how do you add friends on MFP? I can't seem to find out how to do it?

    Oops. I figured out how to add friends, it appears on my computer but not my mobile app.
