in Introduce Yourself
Well, I am new too
and I really like this website!
Someone did an aweful lot of work here!
Great going! What impresses me most are the tools and
that I actually am not getting poor while struggling to
get my weight under control again! So many thanks!!!
I am a mom with 3 kids and, gosh, I have tried so much
and actually lost 35 kgs 4 years ago. The trick is to
stay active and healthy and avoid depression when things
in life go wrong, I guess...

Anyway, am glad to have found this and wish everyone
the best!!!

:flowerforyou:

    Hello all...Ive just joined this a week ago also and have found it to be a great
    site and its so informative and has so far really helped me manage what im eating and how much.Ive been swimming 4 times a week for a few months now but finding this site is just what i needed to get myself on track with what i eat...hopefully with a combination of both i can get my weight down and feel so much healthier., so my first week has gone well and i can see clearly by tracking food its the thing i need to do.. all the best for everybody.

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web to the latest batch of newbies! :flowerforyou:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
    As for exercise, it doesn't always have to be awful. For my exercise, I walk almost every day, (weather permitting!) I also dance to a fast oldies CD that my husband made up of all my favorite old songs. (Like "Love Shack", Wild, Wild West", "Mony, Mony", "Footloose", and "Gloria")
    It's free, (unlike a gym!) fun, and I can even watch tv at the same time, so I never get bored! :happy:
    I also recently aquired the Wii Fit, and jog to that, which is a lot of fun, and easy too! :smile:
    So, to make a LONG story short, make good food choices, eat in moderation, get some exercise, and you WILL lose the weight that you want to! :smile:

    I LOVE your cat pic! My mother actually had a cat that looked just like that one! It was the biggest cat I've ever seen, other than a few I'd seen on tv! :smile:
