in Introduce Yourself
I've tried calorie counters and other mobile apps, but I keep hearing about this from friends that have used it for a long time. So I decided to check it out and today is what I am calling day 1 of the rest of my BETTER life! I have hit a weight that is absurdly disgusting and I am determined to lose it! I have between 145 & 155 pounds to go from today. I'm going to take a picture today of my starting point and when I've lost a few pounds and it shows, I'll start posting my before and after pics. I am always looking for new easy food ideas and inspiration! I'm starting hardcore with food tracking and calorie counting and cardio along with some weight training, wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Best wishes to you on your journey. My only advice would be to focus on choices--make the best ones possible. And if you ever have a day where you didn't make the best choices, just start over. You can do it!:smile:

    i joined mfp just a little over a month ago and it has been a positive experience. earlier this week, i went to the doctors office and when we were visiting, the nutritionist starting to tell me about a this great site and wanted me to consider joining. come to find out it was mfp. she was elated when i told her that i had joined just over a month ago.

    were all in it together and you will find great support here. feel free to add me as a friend should you wish.

    Welcome to the famly. Take it one choice at a time: enjoy your successes, and learn from your mistakes... You are giving yourself a great gift!

    The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
