in Introduce Yourself
After sooo much money wasted on other websites - especially Weight Watchers - I found MFP yesterday and I so glad I did!
Just reading the Successes Board is major motivation enough to get me going...

I recently broke through a huge mental barrier to even begin, but I finally started on the journey to lose baby weight from my last 3 back to back pregnancies - have about 50 lbs to lose and I am actually excited! I know this website will help, I am truly thankful for it!

    I have tried other things like Weight Watchers in the past too. This site is really a way to change your lifestyle and keep track of what you eat. As long as you keep track of your calories and your exercise, it really works! I started a year ago and the support on here is amazing! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I couldn't agree more! I was paying that weight watchers fee every month since 2002 and I have struggled to get below my pre-baby weight for the last 6 years. I've tried a bunch of fad diets and cleanses and they may knock off a few pounds here or there (that often come back), but there is something different about myfitnesspal. I find the little message when you complete your journaling for the day (if every day were like today, you'd weigh xxx in 5 weeks!) to be so inspiring. The very first time I finished journaling I thought "Really??? No way" because the number it was giving me was slightly below that invisible barrier -- that number that I just could not get below since 2006. Sure enough, five weeks later I was exactly where myfitnesspal told me I'd be. So exciting. If I'm to believe my good ole fitness pal, in another 5 weeks, I think I might be legitatemly and undeniably thin.

    I also love that you can see how you're doing in terms of vitamins an nutrients. It has really helped me completely change my eating habits (which I'm hoping will = long-term/ permanent results). I'm actually looking forward to my next physical.

    I love love love this site.

    That is exactly how I felt when I came across it! I have been more succesful with this program than Weight Watchers. I have lost almost twenty pounds in two months. Welcome and wish you the best =)

    Welcome!! I was debating on joinin weight watchers and turned to MFP first. Its only been two weeks but I'm really glad I joined. I have weight from two pregnanices to lose. My youngest is 7 months and I really want to get moving. I want to have a 3rd child some day and would like to be in tip top shape for that!! I had much more aches and pains with the second one, particularly pelvic floor pain and low back pain. Please add me as a friend for support.

    I feel the same. You get more support here than you do in weight watchers and this you can do from your home. I too look forward to becoming one of those people inspiring others. I have to keep reminding myself...take baby steps... and never give up!!
