    Welcome :) You can use this site lots of ways. For me, I have found that having a good friend circle helps. You can motivate each other and hold each other accountable. Logging everyday and everything helps because you can learn where you are goofing and gaining and what your bad habits are. If you log everyday and meet your goals, you will lose weight, but don't forget to exercise :D

    exercise, eat your exercise calories, drink half your weight in water, expect to gain and lose when you have your PERIOD, and please dont, whatever you do, call it TOM -- and dont talk about pooping or the hgc diet or atkins...and eat as clean as you can...oh, and dont read my diary on the weekends...its the reason im stalled (again)

    welcome :D

    You've come to the right place :happy: Make sure you track every day no matter what you eaten. This way you can go back and see any changes. Drink ALL your water and then some if you can. They say to eat your exercise calories but I don't like to.

    This site has motivated me to stay healthy and exercise. When I started I was a size 14/16 and now I am in a size 12 fitting a size 10 tight.

    Stay with it!! This is a lifestyle change not a diet. It can be discouraging at times so don't set goals that are hard to reach.

    Good luck on your journey!!!
