Hi all,

First time on the board, signed up several months ago but didn't ever bother doing much with it. I just got back from 3 weeks in Florida and my gym buddy said she had been calorie counting whilst I was away with the aid of 'My fitness pal'. I am amazed at how good this app is - have been busy scanning foods tonight. Superb - just testing out my ticker now.

    welcome back.... After about a month you will know the values by hard. I still stick to it. I found myself falling short on cals. Which can be bad also.

    Welcome. I also love the app. I was surprised (sort of) how many calories I take in during the day. I add the "sort of" because I think I was in denial about some items, but just clueless about others. It has changed how I eat and consequently how I feel during the day.
    The community is also a wonderful source of advice when I'm at the pc. Good luck!

    Hi Karen. Nice to have you here. I'm pretty new to the app too (within the last two months) but I've had great success so far!

    Have a great day!

    Gary

    Welcome karen. I Have been here 16 days. I love being able to track my intake. It makes me accountable, which I need. Way too much denial before. Best of luck in your journey.

    Thank you all for your replies. I am not a novice to dieting, in fact I am an old hand at just not sticking to it although this is the first time I have actually tried to count calories, I have usually followed a diet like Slimming World or Weightwatchers.

    I just love the app it is so easy to use.
