    Hi Christina, I'm new too.
    It is my first day today. I have not had much success in the past with losing weight but I am hoping this time I can stick to it :)

    Christina,
    There are alot of great things here on MFP ... and I sure hope it works for you. I've been on MFP for a while but actually really using it since January and I've started to see some progress. Even though the progress for me is slow, it's still progress and I remind myself that slow and steady wins the race.

    Lately I've started wondering if I would see more progress if I had more friends on MFP to help hold me accountable .... because some days I still really struggle to stay within my calorie allowance. I'm still working on that. So I might suggest that you either get your own friends to join MFP or add some of the people already on here to help you out!

    Good Luck!

    Hi! I am new to MFP as well! I just started yesterday. I have a lot of weight to lose, and after looking through a lot of Before/After pictures on the message boards, I find myself inspired! I think when I feel like I want to stray from my healthier eating, I will have to go back and look at more of those pictures! Good Luck to you! :)
