    Hi, I just joined yesterday and I really like MFP so far, it is so easy to use :wink:

    I was at my highest weight after I graduated high school (297). Then with a lot of excercise I got down to about 211...however I have gained A LOT back. Currently I am 265. I am getting married in August and already have my dress, it's a bit snug in spots. My wedding is my inspiration to lose weight but I have plenty of other reasons why I NEED to. I have been diabetic since I was 17 years old and have been insulin dependant since 2006. It is really hard to lose weight while taking the amount of insulin I am on, BUT I know if I lose the weight and start eating the right foods and exercising atleast 3 times a week I will be able to decrease the amount of insulin I am taking. I'm tired of making excuses for myself, I realise I need to have carbs in my diet but I need to be careful with fat content and calories.
    Thanks for listening to my rant !!:smooched: :heart: :love:

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :smile:
    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:
