    Hi Saken, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    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! :wink:
    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! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    Thank you for your kind coments, yes it is nice to have this website... Loging everything really helps a lot, i now see how easy is to surpass the est. ammount of callories per day. i now even tend do eat less every meal, for instance, today i had bean stew for dinner, i only ate about 3/4 of what i had in the plate, i usualy eat everything but i decided to go that way.
    My goal is to loose 1 and 1/2 lbs per week, and i usualy do some hard walking , about 20 to 30minutes every day.
    i hope to loose 45lbs by the begining of next year
