    logging the food I find is the most important. Incredible how many calories can be found in seemingly harmless foods.

    This is my 1st wk of MFP and I am really impressed with the logging food. I used to be eating throughout the whole day now I have been more tuned into only eating at meal and snack times. I'm loving this app. I've also been riding my bike just did 3 miles yesterday and it wasn't even an effort.

    I’m in my 3rd week and doing good so far. Logging my food helps so much. Down over 10 lbs so far. Married, kids; home life not so conducive to what I’m attempting to do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Down 10 already? That’s great. I’m into about 2 1/2 weeks and down only 5... have had some bbqs and bdays in that time where is been harder to discipline though.
    Keep it up!!

    riding the bike is great! I've been going for walks in the morning (instead of the usual commute); and riding at night with the kids. The nice weather is a big help!

    @bdelaney33 Thanks! I found the end of second week into the third the hardest for me so far. And 5 pounds is a great start! I’m not getting too excited. It’s always easy for me in the beginning and I’d like to lose about 70 more😬

    Summer clothes really push you (me) to want to stay fit and not over eat. 😁

    By the time winter comes, pff.

    I have my patients do this for short periods of time just to show them how easy we can overeat even if we think we are doing well with it

    Hey Clint; just curious why you have them only log for a short period of time? is there another method you use to limit portions? Thanks!

    @clintoncullins I’m curious, as well! I am definitely prey to “thinking” I’m doing pretty well until I actually start tracking it all🤷🏻‍♀️

    I am not a big fan of junk food or sweets. My downfall is large dinner portions. If I could control portion sizes I would do so much better. It is hard!.. I love working out and doing physical activities ... Anyone with the same problem?
