Hey ya'll!

Im a newbie and am REALLY excited about this website :) I've downloaded it to my phone and plan to use it daily at work to keep me on track. Any suggestions you all have for what "works" would be great. I have 15-20 pounds to lose....it won't be easy. I'm looking forward to being motivated by others through this website :)

Cheers to losing weight and being confident again!

    Hey! Welcome! I love MFP too. Once you use it for a while you'll find tips that work for you. A friend of mine plans the meals for her next day before she goes to bed. I also find it's easier to stay on track when I have already logged healthy options for myself :) I'll friend you if you're looking for support feel free to add me! I didn't use the community feature the first year I was on MFP and I didn't see lasting results. Since I've been adding friends I've been much more accountable :)
