I love coldstone!!!

That is awesome! Keep up the great work!!!

I'm scared of setting goals!

I live in Kansas, and it is 104 degrees outside today. Unfortunately, I had to walk a bunch of dogs outside at the Humane Society where I volunteer. (Today was actually the first day!) But usually I just go 20 minutes on a stationary bike. The things great. It tells me the time, speed, distance, and how many calories I've…

It's hard to do anything if you don't believe in yourself. But for me, getting through the first week and seeing I lost 4 pounds has helped me believe a lot more in myself than I used to!

I eat my exercise calories with pleasure and have lost 2 pounds in 4 days.

Hi my name is Christie and I am 22 from Kansas. I've only started my journey a few days ago. Welcome to the site! Friend me if you want!

Hey! Congrats on taking the first step! This site has provided me with so much support and encouragement. I joined a few days ago and have not looked back. Friend me if you want and we can support each other in this beginning of a new lifestyle! Don't be scared, you can do this!

Hey, welcome to MFP! I just started a few days ago and my goal is to lose 100 pounds. It sounds like sooo much, I never felt like I could do it before signing up for MFP and getting so much help and motivation and support. I hope you get the same! Friend me if you want!

yes.

Yay another stationary biker! I just started exercising and am up to 20 minutes a day, and it says i go around 3.2 miles. I get athlete's asthma, so I can't run more than a few feet. But i seem to be able to do the biking easily so i'll stick to that. Anyway, welcome to MFP and hope you get the support and motivation that…

welcome to MFP! this site gives me so much motivation. Friend me if you want!

MFP tells me i need to eat a net calorie intake of 1220 calories. It also tells me to eat 2,220 calories and exercise 1000 of it off. Since i'm just starting out with exercise, I only add 300 calories or less, making my intake goal of 1500 or less. If that makes sense.

welcome to MFP! I signed up 2 days ago, without even knowing it was on the Today Show! I found it on the iphone apps store. Anyway, friend me if you want! we can support each other!

you are a good mom for caring about your child's health. i wish my mom would have cared about what I ate when i was 9. Then maybe I wouldn't have this problem today. I hope the best for you and your kid.

Welcome to MFP! Friend me if you want

i honestly have had second thoughts about this site for your exact reason. i joined yesterday, and its all i've been thinking about ever since. i'm logged on here more than i've been logged onto facebook these past 2 days and that is saying something! Right now, i am enjoying this site, probably because it is new and makes…

maybe its a way to desensitize us from the donuts. hehe :wink: but if you really dont want to be tempted by them, use firefox and use the ad blocker and it should block it out.

its better to eat when hungry, than to starve yourself, because when you let yourself get hungry, your body goes into starvation mode, and starts storing fat more easily. I dont think that milk and granola was a bad choice, but maybe some veggies next time? Veggies and meat are good for eating later in the day, because…

hi there! I have "psychological disorders" too, I have major depression, panic disorder, and PTSD. Ever since my first panic attack, I have gained 120 pounds. I don't know whether it is from the disorder or the meds or both. It is very hard for me to go hungry (i get anxiety and panic attacks when hungry) which is why i…
