Second day!

My words of encouragement are log in daily. I know that seems dumb, but since I've been doing it, I'm really keeping close track of the calories I intake, and what I do to burn them off. I never thought that this site would actually do anything particularly good for me, until about the last few days. I see how motivating people can be, and it really helps to have friends on here who congratulate you for doing a job well done at exercise or controlling your calories. If nothing else, the forums have lots of success stories that certainly help motivate people to want to do better. That's a good place to start too.

As always, keep positive, and set little goals. Work towards them daily, and never give up. It will be a challenge, but one that can be accomplished.

This guy said it all.

When I joined, I made a committment to myself to log for 100 days. no matter what. That meant that even if I wanted to eat 3000 calories+ I was going to log it. But once I started doing it, I realized, "If I am going to log this meal, I want it to reflect fruits and vegetables." And that's how the change to healthier eating/living started.

Set some goals.

Make MFP friends to help motivate you.

Do it for you!
