Hello, everyone! I've joined to try to get the "want to" back in me to lose weight & get back in shape. My weight has been a life-long issue, so I've tried numerous ways (TOPS, Weight Watchers, etc)...Now I'm older, and less motivated...but I believe I'm ready to take the necessary steps to lose weight again...time has a way of showing us what's important, and I know that taking better care of myself is an important issue. I hope to make some friends on this site, and hopefully together, we can help each other! :happy:

    I think MFP is probably a better site for people who are ready to take control of themselves and not pay others to do it for them. You'll find many support groups and friendly advisers here.

    Good Luck and Welcome!

    Yes, and be generous with your recording. Remember its better to overestimate a little what you ate. Sometimes even subway screws up their portions!

    Welcome! I started a notebook and was writing what I ate for awhile. I was eating mostly healthy food so I didn't understand my weight. Then I found this site and entered a few days from the notebook! WOW, I was eating a lot of calories!

    I hope you reach your goal! Let us know how you are doing. :flowerforyou:
