Hello everyone. I'm Robin and very new to the calorie counting. I look forward to the community of new friends and all the knowledge you have.

Hi, Robin, and welcome to the Community!

There's a lot of good info here, and people are willing to help, when we are willing to interact. One good place to start is with the "Most Helpful Posts" in each Community topic area, especially the "Getting Started" area if you're new. Here's a direct link to that:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest

These are all posts written by regular MFP users, then nominated by other users to be put in the "Most Helpful Posts" so they stick around long term. (Consequently, you'll also see people refer to them as "the stickies".) A particularly good one to start, IMO, is this one:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

Don't let its joke-y clickbait title put you off, it's good solid basic information about how to get started with MFP.

Wishing you much success!
