Hi everyone,

I started MFP on July 31 and am amazed that I have actually kept up with it this long. Usually, if I don't see results asap, it tend to give up.

I made a commitment to myself to log my food each day and I have. (Even the 1/2 piece of Twizzler :) )

Anyway, my goal is set to 1200 calories a day and I always seem to come in 100 - 200 calories under. So, I grab a few walnuts to make up the difference.

I'm currently eating a lot of the Fit and Active foods from Aldi, so that helps. In addition to trying not to eat for a least 3 hours before bed. Plus, I have a new 3 month old puppy, so lots of walking.

My goal is to get down to 130/135 lbs.

The board has been extremely helpful.

Dianne

    Hi, I am new to this site too, just joined on 8/8/11 ~ but it seems to be a much easier way to track my calories! I am doing a fun weightloss challenge w/some family and friends and last Friday I weighed in at my heaviest to date. I am 47 and all my children are still home and the youngest on his way to college in September. I hate exercise and find it hard to fit it in. I would have to get up even earlier than I already do...5AM!

    I also, have a hard time sticking to anything for a long period of time. Maybe we can help each other stay motivated to stay! Please feel free to friend request me. I have no idea how to do that! lol
