Finally found MFP and am excited to start my weight loss journey

Hi there! My name is chantal and for all of my teen years and early adulthood I have really struggled with my weight. I have yo yo dieted so much and watched my weight fluctuate so much. I found MFP when my friend told me about it who is diabetic and was advised by his Dr to try MFP. Since starting he lost twenty pounds and is still losing. I am hoping that I can not only lose weight and be healthy but also maintain. So far I gave been on MFP for six days and for the first time im eating enough calories to keep me full and not starving like other diets I've been on where I've only been allotted nine hundred calories a day. With this said in grateful to have found MFP and happy to begin my journey
