New MFP Friends

Hi! I've been on and off MFP for years. I've tried so many different programs and diets to lose weight and I've always fallen back to good 'ol calorie counting.
I recently tried WW (formerly Weight Watchers) but it just didn't work for me. I couldn't get past their idea of "free foods." I overate fruits and veggies, mostly fruits, because they were zero points and I didn't have to log them.
Anyway, I'm committed to calorie counting and looking for support and encouragement from others who are active here and have open food dairies. I would love to root you on as well 😊

Been off and on MFP for a few years too, lost and gained it back. I was successful with keto a couple of those times but didn't stick with it; now I'm basically counting CICO as well.
It really does help to have supportive friends to give a pat on the back as well as a boot in the pants when needed.
Feel free to add me.1 -
I’ve just recently started back on MFP & really need the motivation to lose weight. Friend me if you want.1
