Welcome! I became a member of MFP about a month ago at the urging of my trainer and it's been going really well! I journal EVERY DAY, even if I go over my allotted calories, because if I don't, its easy to slip and not go back.

I love The Biggest Loser. I've watched every season, sometimes being motivated by it, other times disappointed. Last night was a HUGE disappointment. To leave just because you don't think the game is fair?!?!?! They may not think they are quitters, but guess what...They're quitters!! Big time!!!
