Hey mfp, I started this journey May 2015, took a break during my pregnancy, and started again Feb 2016. It's been a hell of a ride, but I did it!! :-) Lots of obstacles including a complicated pregnancy, a scary delivery, and ppd. Mfp works if you put in the effort!

What motivates you?
Just thought this would be fun as we all have various forms of motivation. Could be in the form of NSVs, people who positively influence us, etc. My 4 month old son definitely motivates me to be a healthier momma. Food motivates me because this lifestyle change gives me the freedom to eat whatever I want, just less of it…

Logging accurately
Hello everyone, I'm not new to mfp, but I am just getting back. I've been back about a month and I know I am still logging my foods inaccurately even though I do weigh everything.
