I've been using MFP for one month now, along with Fitbit. So far, I've lost 3 pounds and I attribute it all to this combination. For those who don't know, Fitbit is a tiny wearable device that counts your steps and climbs (as in stairs). It also tracks your sleep, which provides some really interesting information.

Anyhow, I've become addicted to MFP. Everything that I put in my mouth gets recorded on MFP. While I'm mostly concerned about caloric intake, I also watch the other things such as cholesterol, sodium, fat, etc. I strongly believe that when calories in exceeds calories burned, you gain weight. Conversely, when calories in is less than calories burned, you lose weight. So, I set a target to lose 20 pounds and I've already lost 3.

The hardest part is learning how to eat all over again. I tended to rarely eat breakfast, have a small lunch and a big dinner. Then I'd snack quite a bit at night in front of the TV. Now, I eat a decent breakfast, snack whenever I can, have a decent lunch and a moderate dinner. Since I've been doing this, I've found that with certain dinners that barely satiated me in the past, I now have difficulty eating the whole thing. That's a good thing!!!!!

Anyhow, if anyone reads this, jump in. We're all in this together. Good luck on your journeys.
