Hello...just becoming active and trying to lose a LOT of weight. It's one of those things that little by little creeps up on you. I've lived in denial for a LONG time, but pictures do not lie! The pic of me was from a vacation a month or so ago so is fairly accurate. That will become my BEFORE pic...and I look to all of ya'll to help so I have an AFTER pic!

I need lots of support and need to give the same so let's help each other!

Take care,
Pucky

Note- Yup, that is a cigarette dangling from my hand; that habit has been in the past for 8.5 weeks as I write this (fingers crossed).

    Hi Pucky, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Congratulations on quitting smoking! :flowerforyou: I did it myself years ago, and am VERY glad I did! :happy:
    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:
