Hi everyone I’m Jenna and I’m at the beginning of a big journey! I need to lose over 100 pounds.

I have obstructive sleep apnea and infertility issues plus endless joint pain and lack of self esteem.

Now is the time to do something about this. Looking for supportive friends please feel free to add me xxx

Welcome!

Here are a couple of links that I think you’ll find very helpful:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These are two of the most commonly-referenced threads on MFP; tons of people point to them as being sources of great info when you're just starting out.

For more friends check out these threads, which are fairly popular:

Hi Jenna, I'm also starting my journey which will be a long one. I need to lose over 200 pounds so a very long way to go. But I'm going to get there and so will you 😊. I suffer from low self esteem also, hoping that goes away!! What diet are you going for?

Hiya
I’ve been diagnosed as insulin resistant so I need to follow a diabetic diet so low sugar moderate carbs. I’m super new to this so am focusing on the calories and trying not to deprive myself xxxx
