    Hi and welcome. I agree, get a food scale, measuring cups, and log everything honestly. If you do that you will see results.

    I joined last weekend. I LOVE this site! The support from people and the self-accountability are amazing. It is a wonderful tool. I agree with some of the others who have said get a food scale and measure things. We see such huge portions all the time that it skews what a normal portion really looks like. I also have made a habit of grabbing a smaller plate. When you have a large plate--you tend to want to fill that plate or if you try smaller portions your eyes send this message to your brain that says "What?!? That's it?!?

    May your weight loss success start today! :flowerforyou:

    REMEMBER TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR SELF ONE TIME PER MONTH. SET YOUR GOALS SHORT TERM. THROUGH AWAY ALL JUNK IN YOUR CUPBOARD INCLUDING SUGAR. SUGAR ALONE PUT ON WEIGHT FOR THE AVERAGE OF THIRTY POUNDS A YEAR. I USE TO BE 200 POUNDS, IM NOW 150. SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST. ILL MOTIVATE YOU AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT , YOULL BE THAT 21 YEAR OLD BODY AGAIN. HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY.

    Hi! I just joined about a week ago as well, even though I started my weight loss journey in Sept '11. This is such an easy site to navigate. I'm still learning my way around, but I love how user friendly they make everything.

    Good luck!

    Hii!

    I joined a year ago, but just didn't really do anything with my account. I've spent three years flucuating between 9 and 10 stone but a few days ago I weighed myself for the first time in months and I was 10 and a half stone (well, 10 stone 6 pounds). I was so shocked, and have decided to join up to mfp again in an effort to shed down to what I'd quite like to be.

    Also, I have a time limit - in just over a month I'm attending the Vogue festival - so I don't want to feel like a dumpling next to everyone else!

    I know there are people with more weight to lose than me, and people who started off weighing more - but I reckon we're all here for the same reason.. To lose those troublesome pounds, so it'd be nice to get to know people, no matter what their goals are :)

    Of course feel free to add me, I'd love some fitness/diet buddies!
