I love working out and fitness, but never been one to count calories until today. I look forward to learning from y’all and enjoying this journey together!

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Stay at a calorie deficit and lose weight. Easy peasy

    Welcome to MFP! Lots of great info on this site, and loads of friendly people who are willing to offer help and guidance . And since it's your first day, I'll let ya know... it gets easier once you've "trained" your food log. At first, you have to look up each and every food, but after a while, it will remember what you ate and you can find it WAY easier! lol And yes, you can do this! ;)

    It all works hand in hand. I love exercising too the logging foods get tedious but it's a necessary evil to weight loss

    You are so right AliNouveau! As I get older, the same amount of exercise is not maintaining my weight. I’m long over due in being more disciplined with my diet. Thanks for the support

    Thank you so much for the encouragement Poisonesse! I’m excited about the support from fellow MFP members. I know I can not do it on my own. Thank you also for reaching out to me. I hope I can help you in someway in the future!!!

    Thanks for the welcome slimgirljo15! I hope I can become season guy soon. Lol Really I’m going to take 1 day at a time, and focus on putting my stats in MFP. I believe that will definitely keep me more accountable and help me reach my goal of weight loss!
