    Welcome to My Fitness Pal! Make a lot of friends on this site for motivation. It really helps. Not only count calories, but also sodium. :smile:

    Welcome to MFP! I am also a mother of two a 4 year old boy and a 9 month old girl. I am trying not to use the work diet anymore. But a change of life. I too joined and started about a month later really trying. My new philosophy is eat like a skinny girl and become a skinny girl. I put everything on my food log, you will be surprised how many calories are in some things. Even if I have one tsp of honey I will log it. I log my coffee and sugar, EVERYTHING. Makes me more aware of what I am eating, and hopefully one day I can go with out it. I too love food. I learned to pick sometimes and still write it down, getting the satisfaction of having a bite of my hubby's burger while I am having a salad helps me make it some days. Good luck in your journey to being healthy!

    My largest piece of advice is when going out, get a healthy salad and bring your own dressing. Dressings in restaurants are the worse. Ken's makes good low calorie lite dressings!
