in Introduce Yourself
Hello. My name is Dan and I'm a 46 year old father of 4 and grandfather of 3. I have not always been overweight, but have reached a point in my life I know I need to do something about it. I just started using myfitnesspal on 7-20-11. I like the way it can help me track everything. I hope to accomplish my goal by this time next year which is to lose 90 lbs.

    Welcome Dan! I've been a dabbling around on the site for a few months now but have re-committed to my goals in the past week and have been making a real effort to be more active. The tools on the site are amazing and I also use the app on my Android phone that has a bar scanner so no matter where I am, I can scan a UPC and journal whatever I'm putting in my mouth. Good luck in accomplishing your goals!! Sending skinny vibes your way! :drinker:

    Thank you Tbeaner79. I have the app on my phone as well, but have been unable to find the bar code scanner. Sometimes it helps to have a teenager around to figure out these smart phones for us old dummys. LOL

    WELCOME!! My name is Cherrie..45 yrs old, mom of 4 boys. You can do this! It won't be all easy peasy lemon squeezy...but never give up! Make sure you take your measurements as well. The times that the scale doesn't move, chances are, you are losing inches!!!
