Hi, my name is Marge and I am new to Myfitnesspal. In speaking with my special friend Shari she recommended I check this site out and I must say I am really impressed and know that this is the place to keep me motivated on my journey to eating healthy and losing weight. It's been a life long struggle but at my age I am not giving up. I finally realized that diets don't work but eating healthy and exercising does. I've called my program New Beginings because I've begun a jouney practicing portion control, making better choices, substituting healthy foods for yunk foods, utilizing support groups, and including a lot of exercising into my daily schedule. I look forward to getting some input from everyone. Thanks.
