    Hi! I'm on day 5, I think. Wow, time goes by fast! Anyways, I have been struggling with my weight all my life. I tried diets because I hated exercise but they never worked. So, ever since I started college I never tried to diet. Only about 3 or 4 months ago I started exercising without dieting and I have lost over 40 pounds so far and 50 since I started college 2 years ago.

    Anyways, I think this is a fantastic tool to measure your caloric intake and cardiovascular exercise. Just keep in your mind the rule 500 calories a day = a pound a week. :-)

    Best of luck to you! We can do this!

    Welcome to MFP my beautiful friend!!!! We can do this together! I've lost 8 lbs in less than a month only by counting my calories and balancing it with exercise! If I would have known about this I would have started it along time ago!!! I'm on day 26 I think and I've made so many new friends on here! The best thing I like about this website is all the wonderful people. What Ive done is I started sending out friend request to everyone I saw that was encouraging others and slowly I've made so many friends! So just go to my recent up dates and request all the same people. They will all add you and so many encouraging words are coming your way! Its so nice that everyone celebrates 1 pound lost or even when your under your calorie intake for the day! It's awesome...you'll see if you stick with it all the weight will come off!

    i think haveing kids is an advantage because ur always running around with them and dnt really have time to eat or it's the total opposite u subcum to all the junk food u have for them in ur pantry lol
