in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I've used weight watchers in the past but it hasn't worked for me this time so I am trying MFP. I need to lose 15 kg (10 of which I have put on in the last 2 years). Looking for motivation to exercise.

    You've comed to the right place. I've lost 9.8 kg in 3 months by using MYF, old fashioned calorie-counter in a new and modern form :smile:

    You can add me if you want :flowerforyou:

    Frazz, why don't we work at this together?! I also need to lose 15 Kg. (Always nice to find someone who thinks in Kilos instead of pounds). *wave*@Frazz and Hanne

    Hanne, congratulations on losing nearly 10 Kilos!!!! That is fantastic!

    Not sure how this Friend Request works because I am pretty new on the site but if either of you want to be friends here, let let me know (or invite me or whatever). :flowerforyou:

    Try to moderate the foods and portion size that you eat.

    Here is some useful site:

    It works for me :) I hope it will work for you as well!

    Thaks DKbelle, I have gotten into very bad habits and eat too many carbs.

    Really concentrating on portion control but hate the idea of weighing everything out. I'm worried it will be hard to count calories while trying to cook for a family of 5.

    if you check the site you will see that it is easy :) and no worries all the recipe is already moderated plus easy and fast to make. Only thing you have to worry about to finish :))) I am doing the same and lost 8 kg already :)

    quick question. Are messages supposed to delete themselves as soon as you've read them? I've received a couple but they aren't in my inbox anymore

    No but I think over time they delete. So if it gets to be a few months old, I think it gets wiped out.

    maybe just a glitch as the last message is still there. One more quick question. I've seen the recipe calorie calculator but are there actual recipes on here too?

    Friend requests dissapear as soon as you have accepted them - but other messages stay for only 2 weeks before they are deleted ;-)

    Welcome and good luck :-)

    me too ! and then some :) just started this week .So far it makes a lot of sense. My biggest problem is finding ways to reduce carb intake as I am pre-diabetic, I sure don't want to develop it. Learning about calories, amazed how much calories in some foods expecially those processed foods / and sweets !
    Its good helping me think before I eat
