New here

Hi my name is Linda and I started myfp a few days ago. I like having the app on my phone, it makes access a lot easier while away from computer. I have over a 100 pounds to lose and have tried ever diet it seems lol. I have a hard time sticking to programs but am hoping to gain some self discipline and actually change some of my habits into good ones. I would appreciate any support and ideas from anyone:) I like the myfp because it is helping me stay accountable for my own actions. I hope everyone has a great week:)

    Welcome to MFP! I've only been on here a couple of weeks myself and also like how it keeps me accountable for my own actions. I've also never really counted calories or paid attention to portion sizes (just cut back) but I've seen how fast calories add up and have revised my daily diet encorporating more veggies and fruit. I've also gotten back into exercising and love it!! There are lots of friendly and motivational people here :smile: . I'll send a friend request.

    Thank you so much! I started a few days ago and my diet is still terrible, but I am trying to stay under my calories and making small changes here and there hoping it will help me stick to them. You are so right it does allow you to see how fast calories can add up and I have noticed that when I eat junk it doesnt fill me up so I end up being hungry at end of day. More fruits and veggies is an excellent idea, I will definitely try to incorporate more of those in my daily plan:) Thank you again and it is nice to meet you WildAngel

    Welcome! We are so similar. I just started on here a few weeks ago with over a 100 lbs to lose myself. And your reason to get in shape on your profile pretty much fits me exactly. Its not easy to change things, but it really is a supportive place to be if you are ready to start. You can do it! I've lost 11 pounds so far which may not seem like a lot but I really feel like i can stick with it this time. I hope you like it as well... I'll send you an invite if you are interested.. :smile:
