Hi everyone! I'm new here. I joined Loseit.com in January and have lost 61lbs on my journey so far. I'm very proud and give a lot of credit to Loseit.

But I'm also getting divorced and my husband uses Loseit so I've decided to make the switch to myfitnesspal. It's a bit awkward with us both over there. Hopefully it'll be an easy transition to here. I'm not using any special diet - just eating better foods, portion control and exercise.

I'm 35, with 3 kids (8 year old twins and a 5 year old). I've been a stay at home mom for 8 years but have just gone back to work as a server. I'm also an aspiring photographer. Hopefully someday I can do that full time!

Can't wait to get to know all of you!

    Welcome to MyFitnessPal. I love it here, you can find just about any food in the database already which makes logging foods a breeze, not to mention the android, iphone or blackberry app helps record on the go. People are very supportive here as well! Sorry to hear you are having a rough time in your life right now, but I think you will find your switch over to MFP pleasant and not too stressful. Congrats on your success thus far, and here's to wishing you tons more continued success! Good luck!

    Welcome new friends. The people here are great and the support they provide is too. I've never heard of Loseit.com but I'm pretty sure you won't want to go back there after a few days here.

    Hi Lisa,

    I haven't hear of loseit.com I'm going to check them out! I wish you all the best on your new beginning and continued weight lose. I'm a fashion designer who works as a technical designer for a large fashion company in New York. If you want to become a better photographer you should really network with some other like you...Go to www.modelmayhem.com and sign up and meet wardrobe stylist, designers, hair-designer, makeup artists, and photographers like yourself and build relationships and test as much as you can...Its fun! I've been on there for like 6 years now and I met some great models that I have actually hired previous companies that I have worked for...Good Luck and God Bless you! Peace.
