    Just wanted to say Hello, I am new to MFP and am in the process of Refocusing my nutritional needs. Since I started my journey I have used Carb counting over Calorie counting (with the help of my dietician) and this has worked for me the past 28 months. I needed a change do to hitting plateau's lately so I decided to start focusing on calories in/ calories out while still watch my carb's and fat..... So far (Doing MFP for 2 weeks) I am down another 5lbs. the past 2 weeks bringing my current weightloss to 281lbs. I have been a logger from the beginning (food, weight,exercise) so this process is not new to me just nice to have the app to do it on my Smartphone. I have had to overcome my food addictions and severe social phobia issues too. So me posting to message boards is way out of my comfort zone but I feel it is a fear I need to face so here I am.... :-)

    Wow. I am so proud of you and your story is going to stay in my mind for a long time. I find it great that working with your dietitian, together, you found what worked for you. Congratulations also on losing the additional 5 pounds. I hope to hear more from you.

    Welcome to MFP and best wishes in meeting your goal.

    Also I wish I knew how to quote several of the other posters all in the same message because they were hysterical. (The woman who said you may come across a couple of trolls and to just ignore them--hysterical!) :laugh:
