    Welcome! You have come to the right place. You will find so much information, motivation and support on here. Just inputting your foods makes you think about what you are eating so much more, and if you are like me the first couple of weeks will be a real learning curve! Good luck :smile:

    Welcome! Like a lot of other people using this site, I've been overweight most of my adult life. I joined MFP 14 weeks ago and have already lost 30 lbs. If you are honest with yourself, and log everything you eat (to the best of your ability), you will lose weight. MFP works!! It is a very encouraging and supportive environment. There is a lot of good information here. I'm a 55 year old female. Please feel free to add me as a friend :flowerforyou:

    MFP is awesome! Writing everything down really helps me plan my foods and motivates me to excercise more. Lost 8 pounds so far! Yay!

    Question about the boards ... I keep seeing people reply with BUMP. What is this Bump thing? :-)

    Big hugs to everyone! We can do it!!

    1. its to keep the thread topical and therefore at the top of the community list.
    2. its to make sure the thread appears in the users profile and therefore make it easy to find if someone wants to come back and read it later or are interested in the answers themselves.... :smile:

    @amt2013 - welcome and good luck!!! Feel free to add me for some support if you want to Vx

    :flowerforyou: WELCOME!!!:flowerforyou:



    @aurasa - the "bump" thing makes your topic go up in the list of other topics because the more you post the more "active" it is. So you say "bump", you're just trying to get the topic noticed by posting more.

    For me this has been more of a lifestyle change or consistancy with food. You become very aware of what you are putting into your body. I know that I am more aware of it and have changed some things even though I ate generally very healthy. It was interesting for me to learn that on days I worked out that sometimes I was not eating enough. My wish is that you have a wonderful and healthy journey.
