Hi...I am relatively new to Myfitnesspal, but have been using an app on my phone since I started my journey in July 2011. I said from the beginning that this had to be a lifestyle change, not a diet. So far I have lost 53 lbs and have 72 more to go to reach my goal. I need friends to help keep me accountable and I will do the same in return. Together we can change lives.

    Wow! 53 lbs is great! Yay for you!
    I'm working on a very stubborn (for me) 20 lbs, which I'd put on over the past 12 years. I am also not thinking of this so much as a "diet," but as a life-change. I'm now eating MORE fruit, MORE vegetables, MORE whole grains, and, yes, far less of the fatty, sugary, sauced-up, salty junk that got me into this state.

    I'm learning to love real food now, rather than the pre-chewed, over-processed poison that is so prevalent in restaurants and grocery stores. Accountability has really helped me. And the game-like aspect of myfitnesspal has helped me, as well, keeping me honest about what I'm really putting into my body. I check in every day, and have not missed a day for 50 days now! I've lost 8.5 lbs, even through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and all of the holiday get-togethers and gifts of food.

    I'm 55 and widowed, living in Michigan and Arizona. Please feel free to friend me. :)
    Always me, Janee

    I'm just returning after a 6 month lapse myself. I'd love to have you on my friends list. I need a lot of support too.
