Hi - I'm just starting my weight loss journey. I have had 2 kids... needless to say, I need some help.

I cook a lot by scratch and counting calories that way is so difficult. So I needed help and I went to my iPod for help.

I found the myfitnesspal app, and the reviews were astoundingly positive so I downloaded it. It has the exact feature I wanted - figuring out the calories of recipes I make from scratch.

So here I am now - learning about counting calories and being able "see" exactly what I'm eating.

Now the next step - being apart of the community, building some accountability with people who can really identify with the difficulty of the journey.

Thanks for this forum, for the awesome iPod app, and for the community!

    Welcome! I've just "re-started" a few weeks ago myself. Totally changed my mind set and way of thinking this time around and it's been so much easier! Feel free to add me. I know how important the accountability is. If you need direct accountability or whatever, just let me know! It would help me too!

    Welcome, you have found a good support. I joined just 2 months ago and has lost 24 lbs. so far. But remember to exercise everyday... anything,,,something even if it is just taking a walk with the kids.
