Hi everyone... I'm new to MFP, but have already lost 140lbs since 2008 after changing my lifestyle, eating right and exercising. No surgery for me! Even still, I'm a food addict who needs to count calories and avoid my unhealthy tendencies over the winter months to keep from falling off the wagon. Have used the Livestrong Calorie tracker in the past, but my wife came across this site and it looks to have a lot more to offer. As someone who was closing in on 400lbs, I can tell you these things do work. Be honest with yourself and your logging and you will soon start to see the person you are looking for staring back at you in the mirror. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for all, but certainly happy to help and support anyone who may need it. Feel free to friend me if you like. Nice to see so many people wanting to be healthy!
Want to share something. I was thinking of this last night as I read through everyone's resolutions on various social media sites, and this is what I came up with and posted at the time. Others seemed to enjoy it, so though everyone here might as well...
"Tomorrow won't magically provide you with insight and fortitude to make the changes you want in your life. It will be just as hard to do in 2012 as it was in 2011 or any other time. If you're making a resolution for the new year, resolve to succeed instead of simply trying. The power to do so lies within you. Always has, always will, regardless of what time of year it is. Focus, work, persevere and conquer every day. Move forward. Don't look back. Happy New Year. May 2012 be the year you succeed."0
