Hi all - wondering if I should join now or in New Year

Now, then you will have a head start and won't have as much guilt when you do eat fun stuff during the holidays.

I'd agree with most of the crowd, join now. If you are looking to start losing after New Years, it is at least a good start to figure out how the website works and what realistic meals and calories counts are. The Christmas season is a bit crazy to start, so I can understand the want to hesitate.

Don't start tomorrow just because you had pizza today!!!!!!!

The only way this is going to work is if you find a way to eat that you can do long-term, for the rest of your life, which includes having pizza some times. Log your breakfast, your pizza, and your dinner, and do it again, and again, every day, and you'll start to see patterns and habits that you can work to make better. It's not a diet, it's the rest of your life.

I pretty sure this has been said, but start NOW! No time like the present. I say now because even though it's the holidays(esp cause it's the holidays), it's good to create a new healthy habit. Think of this, maybe because you joined now, 1- you won't feel as guilty for indulging in yummy holiday fair and 2- When you do indulge in yummy holiday fair, you may gain little to no weight from it. Even so, go easy yourself if you do, everyone has a rough time this time of year. Anyway, They say it takes 28 days to make or break a habit. Hopefully, by the time the New Year has rolled around, you will be set! So start now and stick to it! Merry Christmas
