Yeah, I kind of wondered about that.

Um, Drew, what are your qualifications?
Registered Dietician? MD? Nurse Practitioner?
Introduce yourself. Convince people that you know what you're talking about & give good advice
that they should pay attention to.

(And a related question, how did you get to where you want to lose 30 lb if you know how to control your
calorie intake so well that you're offering to help other people?)

Here are some helpful newbie posts.
SideSteel wrote sexypants, so you know it's good advice. (Well, OK, the new people might not make that association
yet, but if you stick around long enough you'll come to realize his demigod status around here.)
Read sexypants. If you read nothing else on this site, read sexypants.
