    Hi, and welcome! You are soooooooo going to love MFP! It REALLY, REALLY works!
    You WILL lose the weight that you want to here, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    Between the easy food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members here, the weight will "practically" fall off!
    I always recommend logging all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. Also, drink lots and lots of water, it really helps!
    Gotta warn you of one thing though, this site is VERY addicting!!!

    oh my goodness, you just read my mind!

    1) yes, i think this site really does work!
    2) counting my calories has really helped me make better decisions about eating. i have limits now - and i'm not starving! i am now a calorie-countin queen.
    3) the exercise tab really encourages me to exercise and log my exercise every day.
    4) i love the other tips i have gotten from this site, like when the best time to weigh oneself is (in the morning before breakfast!)

    you all are inspiration to me. this is my first time seriously thinking about and trying to do something about my weight. this is the heaviest i have ever been in my life. and i have been heavy from the womb but now i know i don't have to live that way forever! i can see myself gradually eating healthier and healthier until it is 2nd nature to me.

    thanks, MFP!
