    You'll probably always have to try stuff on -- but who cares! :)

    Welcome!
    You'll see this is a great way to keep track! If you put your mind to it, you will achieve your goal. My advice to you is to get a support group, it helps alot! No need to diet, they dont work. Eat well and excercise and you will see results!
    Wish you all the best!

    Hey there,
    I know the feeling! Just allow yourself some screw ups and don't let that ruin your entire diet.
    Actually, my favorite part of going into the stores (I am an avid thrift store shopper) is seeing a cute top/outfit then realizing it's too big and smugly saying "Oh that wouldn't fit me" lol, I know that sounds so vain, but I can''t help it!! I've lost 32 total lbs, and 9 from MFP. Woot woot!!

    Welcome to the club. I feel good about losing weight finally, and actually seeing the change. It's not as fast as I would like but at least I am focused. I absolutely love this tracking tool. It has been very helpful. Hang in there.:smile:
