    Hey Joni,

    Welcome to MFP. You should be able to find everything you need on this website to get you started on losing weight. Use your food diary for sure. I log my meals soon after eating so I don't forget anything. It has helped me tremendously. So far, I have lost 6 lbs since signing on in February. You will find that everyone on the site is eager to help with any questions or concerns you may have. There are a lot of good websites for healthy eating, just google healthy recipes and you will find a ton of them. Good luck on your journey and I'll be glad to help in any way I can.:smile:

    I've been SERIOUSLY dieting and exercising since January 2010. I say SERIOUSLY because this site allows me the opportunity to observe ALL of my eatting habits. I've always been a fierce competitor regarding sports and staying active, but I've somewhat dropped the ball regarding a proper diet. It's really cool! I think it has finally become a "way of life" for me. I seem to have a clear and concise knowledge of what I can and cannot consume. Overall, I feel and look great! I've completely lost the "middle-aged man doughnut" around my waist and replaced it with ripped muscle. My goal is to get my Marine Corps form again. Ya know, like a work of art (smile). I'm on my way. I should reach the goal of 190 lbs (started at 220 lbs) by May 2010. Summertime!!!!
