Hey all. I just started with Myfitnesspal earlier this week. Im 20 and have a wedding coming up next fall! Ive been struggling with my weight for years, and its time for a change! So if anyone could help me out with some ideas and pointers that would be great! Definatly looking for people who can really help me through it all! My goal is 20lbs, but if i can do 30-40, that would be amazing!

Thanks!!

Ash

    Good luck, your welcome to add me as a friend if you need help :)

    Follow the instructions that MFP gives you to the T! It doesn't hurt to burn extra calories during exercise though =) Only weigh yourself once a week [I do mine on Friday mornings, after I shower, before I eat or anything else].

    Just keep yourself motivated and it's okay if you cheat a day or two. A lot of people have temptations! I have two cheat days [Saturday and Sunday] and it keeps me well motivated to eat healthy the rest of the week.

    Good luck! And welcome to MFP!

    Welcome and good luck! As others have already posted, track every bit and bite of food that you eat and drink. The food database is gigantic and quite complete. Use the tools here online, the "friends" online, and any family, friends, and co-workers around you to help you on your journey. Also, make healthy choices a much as possible, and accept the days or times you chose the "treats". Write down the "treats" and move on.

    Welcome!!! I also joined recently and am looking to lose those last pounds for our wedding in 3 months. It's going to be hard, I am hoping to get 15 pounds down in three months, kind of seems impossible.
