Hello, I'm Hazel from South Wales. I am new to myfitnesspal, but not new to dieting - I've lost 38 pounds so far since October but there's a long way to go! I'm looking forward to getting to know some new people :smile:

    Hello, Hazel, I am Penny. I am in Florida. I have been on MyFitnessPal for a while, however, I just started a new way of eating and it has helped me drop some real weight for once. It's nice to be able to connect to other people who are on a path to losing weight. :)

    Hello Penny and ShadowBamboo, it's good to hear from you both!
    It's been freezing here in the UK, we had 10 inches of snow in my city last week :(

    I've lost 38 pounds since October using a different diet plan, but it got too expensive.
    I thought I'd head over here to myfitnesspal and try this out instead.
    I'm simply calorie counting and exercising more - still a long way to go though!

    Thanks for getting in touch, I am looking forward to my new start (once I've found my way round the website!)

    Hello from Oklahoma my name is Karla. I am new to MyFitnessPal I've been on the program less than a week but this is the first day of actually getting on the site didn't realize exactly what was going on here being a community and I figured I'd do better with friends and support and motivation then try to do it all by myself.

    Hello Hazel! I’m Jessie from NYC! This is the first time I’m using this app and I can tell you for me it’s working! I have always struggled with overeating. Now that I log I see where I go wrong. I’ve lost a little weight since just starting 3 weeks ago. I’ve got a long journey ahead too! Like Penny said too I’ve changed my eating and saw a drastic change. Congrats to your weight loss! Few free to add me if you wish!

    @onwardsdownwards Hazel, when you put the "@" in front of the username they get a notification that they've been summoned.

    Hi.

    Hi I'm just trying this out too - I am 39, female and really quite sedentary/mildly active. I have another approx 9 kg to go - but only lost 3 so far. Add me if you like!
