Hi, I'm Cana. I just discovered this site a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving and till Christmas, managed to lose 7 lbs. just by keeping track of what I was eating! I can find everything on here! And I love, love, love that I can type in my favorite recipes and find out how many calories per serving I'm eating! I've slacked since Christmas Eve, and even gained a pound or two back, but that's okay. I didn't even try to keep track with all that yummy food around. But starting today, I'm back on track. Now to try to find the time to walk! Argh. It's tough when you work full time and have two teens and a hubby at home. But do it, I will! My health and happiness depend on it!

Thanks you so much for creating such a user friendly site!

    Okay, still not on track. Busted the calorie limit today. I think I'm going to have to trash the rest of the goodies in the house. Sigh. Don't know if I can toss the snickerdoodles.

    Thanks. I know this is a long term journey. I also know that if I have junk in the house, it's difficult to resist. Why I thought it would be different yesterday, I don't know. Hey, I did manage to resist a slice of my daughter's homemade cheesecake! So that's something. Part of me says not to worry about it till I go back to school Monday, you know, normalcy. But if I did that, I'd probably gain 5 pounds in the meantime. So today, I start anew. I've put the chocolate kisses out of sight, and will try to resist the cookies. :) Oh, and I'm throwing out the yummy mashed sweet potatoes. They have butterscotch pudding in them! LOL. It's my SIL's recipe...and she's a dietician! Course she has the knowledge and willpower to resist. She's slender and gorgeous! Grrr...

    The thing is, without this site, I never would have know just how badly I busted the calorie count yesterday. Knowing that gives me the power to resist today. Now THAT is sweet!
