Hello there my name is Christina and i just started yesterday. I'm 24 25 next month, and i have battled my weight for years now. I have lost some then gained it all back and then some. im sure lots know what it feels like. Well thanks to my good friend she told me about this page, and how it seems to help a lot of people. So im hoping to stick to it and see some real lasting results. what is horrible and has definitely contributed to the struggle is working at live garden. not the friendliest place to work when u like food. i also am a water polo player and swimmer and love the water. Bout to finish my bachelors and then off to med school. so it time for a change. Well there's a bit of me have a wonderful day. :flowerforyou:

    Hi swimgodess, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :love:
    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! :smile:
    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:
