in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Amanda. I'm 24 and sick of being "fluffy!" Haha. I'm currently working in France teaching English to crazy adorable French elementary students. I return to the States in four months and want to come back with a bang! :) I found this site and love it. Anyways, I'm sure you'll be hearing from me more (lucky you!) ! :laugh:

    Bonjour right back at you, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:

    LOL...You could do well in France with the knowledge that you have! Hats, cheese and doors, that's all what the French are about! Hahaha!

    mais oui-- and l'amour, don't forget-- did I spell that right? LOL

    Ooohhh yeah-- and I forgot "pain"-- I can ask for bread til the cows come home?

    Ou est le pain? Ou est la fromage? Voici le pain! Voila la fromage?

    I could never get the le and la though-- just could never quite compute.
    I probably goofed above.
