Just thought I'd say hi...and introduce myself. This community seems great. Can't wait to join the weight loss and MAINTENENCE! I've played the yo-yo dieting before. Hopefully with the support of the community and seeing everyone's struggles/success, I'll be able to achieve these goals. Good luck everyone.

Hello Kvang9, I definitely agree that this community is great and it offers great motivation and support. I find that by participating in threads, especially ones involving goals, help me stay committed because I feel as though I am letting down more than myself if I do not keep my word. Hopefully you too will find the same motivation! Good luck and happy success to you!

Hi K, 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 "recent forum topics", and "view all", then "general diet", 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:
