Hi everyone, my name is Valerie and I am new to this website. So far I love it! I am also a yo-yo dieter with little success. My goal is to lose 40 pounds. Best wishes everyone!

    Hello, Valerie,

    Welcome to MFP

    This site has changed my life. I had given up on ever being able to lose weight. I found this site by accident in February and remarkable things have happened.

    Take the time to learn about all the features of the site and make use of them. find a group to check in with every day. Look under "Motivation and support". there is group called 50+women for the month of May and lots of other very supportive groups.

    I log my food before the day starts so I don't have to be making food decisions when I'm hungry. I make a plan and stick to it.

    Take it one day at a time
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Take baby steps
    Drink a lot of water :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    You can succeed if you work at it.:bigsmile:
