Hey there...I'm new and need support :)

My name is Adriana. I'm a wife and a SAHM of 3. This really isn't the first time iv'e tried the site but it's the first time i'm gonna actually do it...lol...I have been on EVERY SINGLE DIET out there. I hate diets, and that's why I refuse to diet anymore. My goal is to change my lifestyle for the better and in doing so change the health of my kids as well :)) I'm really excited about this. Can't wait to meet new friends with the same goals.

    Hi there. Today is my 7th day so far. I weigh myself tomorrow and I feel pretty good. I'm here to support you!!! You can add me as a friend if you like.
  • You have found the answer on here; no diet, just keep a food/exercise diary. People encourage and support you! I have lost 12 pounds even though it has taken 50 days, this is huge for me! YOU CAN DO IT! I AM HERE 4 U!
  • This site is great! I lost 12 pounds and my fiance lost 20. We've been doing it since around November. Good luck!
  • Hello! Welcome! Feel free to add me! (:
  • Hey there! Feel free to add me, I can use all the support I can get as well!!
  • I can tell you from my mere 6 weeks of experience, the first two weeks were the hardest, they will go by fast however...After the eating habits change from processed crap into better fruits vegetables, and lean proteins, I started to lose the cravings for the crap. I used to eat a Snickers bar a day at a minimum, but now I have had a few fun size bars in the last month and don't really crave them anymore...The fitness is the best part, I will workout a bit extra if I want to have a "good" meal with pasta etc. But I really want chicken, fish, pork and beef as the main course now, more often...Try to make it fun, and log it all!

    I am new to this site and def need support myself. gained over 30 pounds this year!! yuck! Feel free to add me!!
  • They there! Welcome. I agree with you diets don't work. I hate em. This site is a great tool to use, I've been on and off it myself but I've lost 9 pounds since I started, and that's more than I would have lost if I never joined, so that's good. All the best to you on your weight loss journey! :flowerforyou:

    Feel free to add me. I'll glady support you. It's been 35 days and I'm down 25lbs. I'm not sure how I did it but determination has definitely been a factor. I work in an office and just drank Pepsi all day and ate snacks from vending machine. I think I had gained 70lbs in the last 7 years. Yikes. I feel like I get on my soapbox a lot but I am so excited and I don't miss the bad stuff too often. I totally agree with gawfer69... the first couple weeks are the hardest. They say you have to do something 21 times in a row to make it a habit. Let's work together!!

    Add me if you want, I'm new too! Been on here for 4 weeks and I'm seeing some results. Logging EVERYTHING is key... once you see how many calories you're eating, its like sticker shock (or portion shock)!!! The hardest part for me has been NOT lying to myself in the food log... Not sure if thats just me... or human nature... :)
  • Hi, I too have been here for a while but can never stick to it. I have just started adding friends so please feel free to add me as well! I am a working Mom of 2 - a 10 year old and a 15 month old. I need all the help I can get! Good luck to you!! :-)
  • I'm new too, feel free to add :)

    I've been on MFP since November, but really started getting serious since just before the holidays. I have alot to lose, many things to learn and love the tools and support that are available through this site. Please feel free to send me a "friend" request if you like. It's a long journey and it's great to have as much support as you can get along the way!
  • I have used this site before and did very well with it...but alas, I let the stress of life take over and fell off the wagon. :( This is way better than any diet you will ever try. Feel free to add me and let's keep each other going! :)

    Hi I'm Lauren! I am new too and would love to support you. Dieting never works. I love My Fitness Pal bc it helps me keep track and I don't feel deprived. I am more motivated than ever to work out, and I so wish I would have found this website before now! Check out Dr.Oz's "Faturday" and you will do great. One day a week you can eat whatever you want, just don't binge. I haven't cut out any foods and I'm still losing. If I want something, I eat it. I just keep track of it and work it into my day. Another trick is to eat every 2-3 hours and this boosts your metabolism. Starving yourself slows your metabolism and will make your body hold onto everything you eat. If your body knows you are getting fuel every 2-3 hours, it will let go of what you eat much quicker. Best of luck to you on your journey!
