New to MFP Message Boards but NOT new to battling weight los

Options
Hello all!
I've been using MFP for a little while now...love having access to the tracking tool and database as close as my iPhone! What I haven't done until lately is reach out to others fighting the same battle. I don't want to be in this alone!

Previous efforts at weight loss have been successful, as long as I'm in "a program"...when the program ends and I go my own way, well, you know...

So this time I'm committing to cook and eat healthy with the food already in my kitchen and to exercise regularly. I'm striving for moderation. I want to make changes that will last my lifetime...not changes in what I eat, but changes in HOW I eat. Smaller portions. Healthy yet delicious food. A realistic, honest daily record of what I'm doing to take care of myself.

Whose in with me? Let's be friends and encourage each other.

    Great outlook. I'm in a similar boat. Lost about 40 pounds two years ago, then slowly put 20 of it back on. I'm new on here, though I've counted calories before, and like you, I'm focusing on cooking healthy, working out consistently, and making this a lifestyle change instead of a short-term diet. It's all about moderation. Good luck to you!
