Not-so-new newbie with renewed vigor!

Hey everyone!

I had been using MFP since mid-2007. Never really read or posted on the forums, though. I used the food diaries and the exercise logs and the accountability makes this a great tool.

I stopped visiting the site for a while, mainly because I lost motivation to keep it going. But, now, I am back on the wagon! And I'm looking forward to seeing the same progress many of you have seen.

I have about 70-80 pounds to lose. I'm in no hurry, but I'd like it to be permanent. I had previously lost 40 pounds and ended up putting it all back on, and then some.

The only thing I think this site lacks is a cell phone/Blackberry application for entering food while on the road. I think for me, personally, that would be very helpful. On the good side, it seems that the food catalog has grown drastically since I last used this site. Part of what discouraged me was that the catalog was limited. But it looks like, thanks to publishing users' data, it has pretty much everything you could ever eat, and its crazy accurate!

In any case, I look forward to interacting with you on this journey and hope to make some friends along the way.
