Hi,

My name is Beth, I'm a senior in highschool and I just joined the site a week ago. So far I really enjoy it because it's keeping me from snacking all the time. I am more aware of what I'm putting into my body and it's helping me maintain my present weight. I haven't gotten rid of all my bad eating habits, especially ice cream and eating past eight at night, but hopefully I'll workup to that.

Just wanted to say a quick hello,
B

    Welcome BethieLee, It's the same for me. I've lost 10pounds in less than a month just by entering everything I eat. So you don't snack and you know the value of what you eat. So you think twice before you eat that bowl of ice cream! ;)
    Good luck!

    Welcome, BethieLee!

    Good for you, finding a supportive website that can help you maintain your weight. I am so impressed by your insight and attitude.

    Ice cream. I had some frozen yogurt (Cherry Garcia......mmm) yesterday. I worked it into my "All Veggie Day" - a day where I have almost no carbs, and can fit in a treat and still stay within my calories - Ben and Jerry's (I put it in the FOOD database)

    :-) Good luck - stay with us!
