Hello all,
I decided to start using this site after my sister told me she lost and then maintained her weight with the calorie counter.
:blushing: I've lived a pretty lazy lifestyle for most of my life and considered myself chubby. Since turning 30 in April I've gained 10 pounds and no longer fit into any of my clothes.

Hopefully I'll start losing some of this gut that has ballooned over the past little while.

Cheers everyone.

Well, this is a good place to do it. I've always been a bit on the chubby side as well. Since joining the site, I've lost all of the weight I gained in college. And the people here are generally really friendly and supportive. Good luck

Hi, 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!
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.
Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP!
Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
