in Introduce Yourself
Hello! 28 year old mom new to MyFitnessPal. I <3 the app soo much! It makes me feel so much more accountable and motivated to achieve my goals! It does help that I am already so committed to getting the body back that I used to have 5+ years ago and get out of this body that feels so foreign! Ideally I am wanting to lose at least 20 pounds but would be ecstatic if I could hit a 40 pound loss. Anywhere in between those numbers I would be happy with though! =]

Looking forward to making friends with people of similar goals. I use the app so much more than I am able to get on the computer. Feel free to send me a friend request if you are looking for a new friend! =]

    I am in :heart: with the app too. My daughter shared it with me, I shared it with my sister and my best friend. I'm sure they're sharing it with people to. Like you, I'll use the app more than the web site, but both are awesome.

    Hey there! I love this app/website as well! I joined a year ago, but haven't gotten serious until now. It's really holding me accountable for what I eat, how much I exercise. Plus I do like to see the progress. Good luck to you!!

    I am just starting to use the app also. I have had an account for awhile, but am getting serious NOW! I have hit the weight (again) that I said I'd never see again. So....here I go! I think the app. will really help me "journal" my food and exercise easier. Would love to lose twenty pounds and get back to what I was before kids (my youngest is six!) I'm there with ya!

    Today's my third day...a coworker told me about this website since I have a Blackberry, not an Iphone. My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in two weeks. I know I won't lose that much between now and then but it's a start. I'm also turning 49 in two weeks, and have a 5 month old granddaughter. I'm doing good on eating healthy as but my downfall is portion control and getting enough exercise. Hopefully this will help me track both better. My middle son is a health nut and is also motivating me a lot.

    Hello! I'm new here and decided to join after getting tired of counting WW points. I lost weight before having kids on WW, but looking back on it was pretty hungry most of the time and had a hard time keeping it off. Since having both of my kids (youngest almost 2), I've tried going back on WW, but always lose track of the points and have come to a major plateau. I have about 10 lbs leftover from my first pregnancy that I still need to lose. This app seems easier to follow, and I couldn't believe one of my favorite recipes from my Deceptively Delicious cookbook was actually in the database! :)

    (Just realized I put my post in the wrong place, sorry about that!)
