Just Starting Out

Hi everyone!
I just started on Sunday and I'm loving this site! How handy to create your own foods and be able to track everything. I have a whopping 40 lbs to lose but am focusing on one pound at a time. I'm walking and will be starting pilates on March 7. I can't wait for that. I find that tracking my calories is really the only way I can lose. It's too easy to "forget" what I've eaten.
I'm from the SF Bay Area, 57, and am a passionate photographer. Maybe some day I'll have an awesome before and after pic of myself!
