Obviously I'm new here. My name is Angel. I'm 25 years old. I am ready to lose weight the healthy way and keep it off. After having 2 kids and taking care of everyone else, I'm ready to start taking care of my body. I have been watching what I eat and exercising for 2 and a half weeks and I have lost 12 lbs. already. I go to the gym 5 days a week for about an hour at a time. I joined myfitnesspal to help me with managing what I eat and to meet and talk with others with similar goals. Anyway, Its nice to be here.

    Hi Angel, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
