Hi everyone!

Today is day one using My Fitness Pal and i am excited about making a healthy start! I have been using Weight Watchers Online for a couple of months, and while i had success at the start, my motivation soon dropped, and i have been losing and regaining the same 2kg over and over for the last couple of months. I really feel that support is vital to weight loss success, and i was just not getting that as an online member of WW.

I am at uni full time, and also planning my wedding (i get married in 10 weeks!) so i blame the stress for my motivation collapse, but having an excuse still does not make up for the fact that i am letting myself down by not losing weight.

So, here i am today, hoping that MFP has just what i need (with the added bonus of being free!) and hoping that i can find supportive new online friends to share successes with.

    Hi Jannah,

    I am in a very similar boat.. I used WW online to lose the weight I was carrying in the lead up to my wedding earlier this year but went looking for some other resources and found MFP! Feel free to add me, I would love to have an extra friend to help motivate one another! And good luck with all the wedding plans, How exciting!

    Kylie.

    Today is Day one for me and I am very excited. I too was a past WW follower juggling 2 to 5 pounds up and down. This site is awesome. I did stay hungry most of the day. I am not used to counting calories. With WW you had "free" items, etc. So, I will adjust. Good luck to all!
