Calorie counting is just a tool - will be effective if used right.

It can if you use it correctly, as mentioned above it is just a tool not a magic solution.

If you are new these two posts are excellent reads and should get you started on a successful path:

Yes it definitely helps. Using MFP to count my calories and stay within my goal plus adding daily exercise has helped me lose weight. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies and links. I will give it a go. I know it's down to me to lose the weight and not a magic tool....wish it were I'm finding logging everything down makes me think about opening the fridge or the cupboards for a naughty snack. Well done tiger blood...I'm wanting to lose 29 kg the support would be great and vice versa

it is definitely an eye opening adventure, which is what most of us need

It works. Logging everything you put in your mouth is eye opening to say the least. You'll think twice before eating those cookies when you know they will show up for you and/or others to see. Good life & good health!
