    Hi! Welcome to MFP.
    Have you set up your profile to include your calorie goals, nutrition goals and current weight?
    Once you have done that, I would recommend tracking your food for the first two weeks, then adding in exercise. It's hard to do everything all at once. I found that starting with tracking and then adding things onto that really helped make sustainable lifestyle changes.

    feel free to add me if you'd like a friend.
