    Hi Karen, 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:

    Welcome, Karen,

    You've come to the right place. :bigsmile: Take the time to learn about all the features of MFP and make use of the ones that you like.

    Find a support group and become a part of it
    there are a lot of groups----one is called 50+ Women (find the group in Motivation and Support). It's a group of really supportive women. There are other groups that challenge each other in fitness or food plans. There's something for everyone.:flowerforyou:

    I like to plan my meals ahead of time (usually the night before) so I don't have to be making food decisions all day.

    Take it one day at a time and take baby steps. Big journeys like this take time;

    Good Luck :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
