in Introduce Yourself
This is just what I need and I am glad that I happened to find it. I was a little sceptical at first...thinking that it probably wouldn't help much or that nobody was on here. Well, I am so glad that I gave it a chance! I really need something to keep me focused. I've got a whole lot to loose and I want more than anything to loose it! I'd love to be a success story too! Good luck to everyone who has started and is continuing the journey...wish me luck!!!! :o)

    Hi Amy, 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:
