    Hi everyone. I'm new to MFP, although I'm not new to the diet/weight loss world. I have been trying (and failing) at losing my extra weight for over a year. In 2010 I was 194, and now I'm 178, so I have lost some but I keep giving up and getting off track so it's taken a while. I want to get back on the wagon and stay on until I reach my goal. I hope to meet some motivating new friends who can help me stay on track when I feel like running the other way!

      I am fairly new here, but I can already tell you it makes a difference. Just the right amount of encouragement. Logs to keep you honest. It's great. I will say - LOG EVERYTHING. I had 7 crackers with dinner last night, they went in with the sandwich and salad. It keeps me from backsliding.

      I've tried, which means I go up and down and net an extra 10 pounds per year. Now? I'm losing at least a half pound per day, although it does fluctuate. Tracking food makes it so that I don't have bad days from too much at more than one meal. I don't have four snack times, because I record them all and see how many calories I have left! I've never had to miss a meal, but I do find myself eating more salads.

      I know the feeling, I gained over 60lbs with my sons. And once they were born, there wasn't much time for anything but them.
