I am new here My sis~n~law Clover mom got me to join. What a great support team you have here. For so long I've seen my self healthy and happy, just like you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just can't seem to ever find my way there. Some health problems have come up telling me it's time to get up off my butt and get my life started again.

It's so nice to be here. I wish you all the best of 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:
As for exercise, it doesn't always have to be awful. For my exercise, I walk almost every day, (weather permitting!) I also dance to a fast oldies CD that my husband made up of all my favorite old songs. (Like "Love Shack", Wild, Wild West", "Mony, Mony", "Footloose", and "Gloria")
It's free, (unlike a gym!) fun, and I can even watch tv at the same time, so I never get bored! :happy:
I also recently aquired the Wii Fit, and jog to that, which is a lot of fun, and easy too!
So, to make a LONG story short, make good food choices, eat in moderation, get some exercise, and you WILL lose the weight that you want to!

Welcome!

I agree that this is the best website ever! It has been a slow process for me and my results are not spectacular or worthy of a TV reality show...However, if I had not joined in January I suspect i would still weigh what I did then or maybe more right now! Instead, I checked my BMI yesterday and I am only 0.7 away from "healthy"!:bigsmile:

Stick to it and before you know you will be wanting to change you name to "Skinny me" instead!:laugh:

Welcome! It does sound cheesy, but it is still true - today is a new day! You can start over - you can start over minute by minute if you need too! Sometimes I do!

There is hope, and here you will find much encouragement and support! We're glad you're here!
