Hi All,
I am new to my fitness pal. I am really excited to have this tool at my finger tips. It is already helping me to be more mindful of what I am eating. Hopefully I will make some new friends as well.:happy:

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :love:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :smile:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:

    Welcome to MFP girls! :flowerforyou:

    In addition to what Bren said, I would also suggest you look around the forum for some nice informative threads. You may also find it fun to join some support group - there are ones for stay at home mums, working mums, teachers, brides-to-be, people over 200lbs, people over 300lbs etc. etc., just pick what suits you best! It's a great extra motivation and it feels like a cool game you are playing, taking up challenges and fighting for biggest loser! That's the difference between the traditional weight losing and being on a great site like MFP!

    Have fun and good luck on your journey! :drinker:

    I want to thank everyone for your support. It means alot. Being the only girl in the house and being surrounded by guys who can(and do) eat anything they want with out gaining weight it is hard for them to completely be supportive. Again THANK YOU!!:smile:
