    Hi everyone
    I joined a couple of weeks ago but have only just started to use this regularly I also joined from Weight Watchers. I've found MFP to be so much better, and its FREE!
    I've always struggled with my weight and have always been the fattest in my family. Have done numerous diets etc but the weight is very hard to shift. And I really have no motivation. I'm getting married in the Summer and if I can lose 10 pounds I would be really happy. Fed up of starving myself and working out til I drop and not one pound comes off. I'm only 5ft Tall so every pound of extra weight looks huge.
    I'm looking forward to chatting to people who actually understand.
    Good luck everyone :)

    Weight watchers and I did not get along. I've been here for I think a year this month, I'd rather count calories than figure out points. lol

    Hi Katie,

    I've been using MyFitnessPal since the end of February. I like having the app on my phone too (especially to scan bar codes!).

    I have 3 sons (youngest is now 19).

    Since I've been tracking food and fitness here, I've lost 3 pounds and a couple of inches...and I still eat what I want to eat!

    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hi- I join this app back in Jan and this has been my best friend.. I have documented everything I eat. I love it very much and use it daily. When I started I was 311 and that was on 01/26/2012. I have followed it to the T. I don't go over my calorie intake and workout 2-3 times a way for 45 minutes on the treadmill and 10 mins on the bike. I am currently down to 287 and I am sooo excited. I eat 6 times a day and in small portion.. No fried food. Ok I may have fried food one time and that is on the weekend.. It really is a mind thing... Welcome and enjoy.

    Hello Katie today is also my first day. My name is Sandy and i can be ur fitness pal if you want. I used to be 185 last year and by taking a small step at a time i got down to 162 but my goal is to be 135 so i need it a system to keep track of my calories so lets see how it goes =). You can do it just dont give up, just remember its one pound at a time. I am here if you need to talk we can do it

    Are we on the same fitness path? I was 185 a few years ago, went down to 150 but now I'm back at 165ish (def some chub gain but mostly muscle gain since I started crossfit). I'd love to be 135 but that might be impossible for me. I'd be ecstatic at 140-145...gonna friend you!!

    Hi. You all can add me if you want. I have been on here for a couple of years. Lost over 50 lbs, then gained 20 back since mom passed away in May '11. I joined WW and have the new points system. I decided not to go back to meetings though. I can't afford $13 every week, and like many have said MFP is FREE!!! The way I lost best on was low carb. WW is a good program, but low carb seems to work the best for me.

( The vacation photo is in my profile pic) I started on January 7th of this year weighing in at 242 lbs, and this morning I weighed 200.2!!! - SOOOOO close to Onederland (getting in the 1 hundreds), I am EXCITED!!! I LOVE MFP and my awesome friends & support system!
