    Hi, 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:

    Just use the tools the site provides & you'll have great success. Try not to think of it as a "diet" as much as a new way to live. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it is true. If you think of it as a temporary thing, you'll just be back in the same place in a few years. Good luck to you & welcome to the boards!

    Thanks to all for the welcomes and well wishes. Does anyone now why the calorie counter in the exercise section does not count anything except cardio? I worked out yesterday but the only thing that it would give me a calorie credit for was cardio.

    Thanks,

    Eric
