New and in need of change!

New to myfitnesspal. Not sure what to expect but excited to find a website where I can keep track of my calories. I was doing really well and had lost a good 23 pounds until my sister passed away. Now, up 8 pounds and scared to death I can't stop the gain!! Hope talking about it will help.

So hello to you all and I look forward to making new friends.:flowerforyou:

    Welcome! Plenty of friendly people on here to help you out ... browse the forums, there are TONS of answers too. I am on the 23 point myself and have been kinda stuck here for a while (I keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds) but not giving up! And you aren't ready to give up either because you are here! Make friends and again, Welcome!

    As we know, this is a life journey, not a sprint diet. Ups and downs will happen, especially when things happen in our lives. I am sorry to hear of your sister's passing but I m sure she would be happy to know you are moving forward with your life and getting back on track to meet your goals.
