I'm determined to lose weight this time. I've never kept a journal of my food before, and I'm hoping this will motivate me even more. My daughter suggested I join MFP, and I'm excited to try this. I welcome any support and motivation. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome! I too just joined mfp and so far, so good. I have found the food diary to be very helpful. I am a diabetic and was having high blood sugars. Thanks to logging my food, my blood sugars have come down significantly in the past 3 weeks. I have also lost a few pounds!

    Good luck on your weight loss. You (we) can do it!

    Congratulations on your choice to better your life!

    Eat well, and track your calories, weigh yourself weekly (although I admit--I weigh daily! :embarassed: ) and measure, measure, MEASURE your body parts!

    If you like to read inspiring blogs, take a look at mine :wink: located here at MFP (the address is in my signature).

    Friend me, if you like. (click on "ladyofivy" just above my picture to the left, and then click on the green button that says "add as friend")

    :smile: I am always here to listen and support! :flowerforyou:

    Welcome! Keep up that food journal.....even if you know you've gone over calories. I do, and it helps the next day when you're tempted again, but don't want to see it two days a row on your chart.
    Good luck! :flowerforyou:
