    Hello! Welcome! I'm pretty new myself, but I have a good feeling about this. I joined the first week of January and have lost about 10 lbs. so far. I also have about 100 lbs. to lose, but I set my goal at 75 lbs. for now. (100 just seems too daunting right now. ) My daughter is also doing this--in fact, she's the one who initially told me about this site.

    So far, I think the key for me has been tracking my calories as faithfully as possible, no matter what. I love to eat out, but tracking my calories made it impossible to ignore just how quickly those calories (and the sodium!) add up when you eat out. I still eat out once in a while, but I tend to plan ahead and save my calories if I know I'm going to dinner with friends. I also track nutrition info because eating as little processed food as possible is important to me. Being healthy is part of the goal, after all! :)

    Didn't mean to go on so long! Welcome, and good luck!
