Hi everyone! My name is Jessica and today was my first day on myfitnesspal. I met with a nutritionist today, and she recommended this site. I am trying to lose some weight and just generally maintain a more healthy lifestyle. I'm looking forward to contributing to this community:)

    Welcome, the first few days of logging in food can be tedious. However, you should be able to catch up soon. It definitely made me more aware of all the things I was eating (or mostly snacking on). I had stubborn baby weight that wasn't coming off, despite all the working out I was doing. I was generally eating healthy, but still way too much. MFP has helped me shed 7 pounds. It also help me track my protein and iron level.

    Welcome to MFP!
