I too just find out about this website from the Today Show. My name is Mechelle. My biggest question is... What do I eat? I do not eat a lot due to my work schedule... I work for FedEx... and you would THINK due to the constant running and heavy lifting I would not have an issue, but... I DO! Is there a meal suggestion area that includes portion sizes? I'm not asking someone to do it for me... I just don't really know where to start and how to maintain... Any suggestions would help.

First of all welcome to all the new people. You have found the best place to help you lose weight. I don't have TV so didn't watch but the show but their are many big losers on this site.

For finding what to eat several members keep their diaries public, see what the big losers eat everyday. Write down every single bite you put in your mouth, good or bad. You find yourself weighing the pro's and con's of eating something when you start to realize what it will cost you, LOL.

This is all about changing the way you feel about eating and food. Eat food because it is good for you, healthy for you. Choose foods as close to nature as you can get, get rid of the pop or energy drinks or limit them. Do it for you, then your family, then for whatever reasons you choose.

Once again welcome everyone.
