    This is a great and addictive site (in a good way!). My biggest motivation for joining this site is when I heard the following statistic: People who journal their food lose, on average, twice as much weight as those who do not. And people who continue to food journal after losing weight are at least twice as likely to keep it off.

    Take full advantage of the site and with a little self motivation, you'll do great!

    Welcome

    I have only been here for five days and love this site. It is a challenge losing weight but keeping tabs on what you are eating daily and seeing those calories add up was an eye opener for me.
    Good luck to you..... you will do well
