    Hi I joined a week ago too! I love this and finally after a year on ww and also a few other programs My Fitness Pal helped me get it.
    I am doing Jillian Micheals New Revalution along with MFP. I just get it and something clicked... This is how it goes, You stick to your calories you work you butt off exercising and the weight comes off. Its simple, but with this program it logs the calories and you see what you need to do to loose. We in america eat to many calories... Omg??? People just look on the Mcdonalds website, and see how many calories are in your food. We are a fat america! If we demand that these food chains give us healthy they will!
    We are all dying of fat, and the disease that goes along with it. We must demand the change for health... Good Luck to all of you on here and keep your chin up. This is the best website I have found in years. Calories=exersice= weight loss... Its simple, its free, and it works... Walk, and do cardio and strength training... I have lost 6 lbs and feel amazing with clean eating!!!! I feel fantastic and canit wait to loose my first 50, I have not been under 200 in years.. This is my year!! Amen and thank you!!
