    Hi Piesh, 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:

    Thanks guys. I actually had lost 55 lbs (with 45 left to lose) and then at the end of the year my family had a huge catastrophy happen. I got busy and stopped taking care of myself and then depression kept me making excuses to not start up working out and eating right. The result is that I gained 20lbs over the past 4 months. Now I've got about 68 lbs to lose. I was looking for some new inspiration and found this site. I like it so far. I just hope i can keep myself focused and stop stress eating.

    One day at a time!
