    Hi Diana...I love this site. I have only been on for about 2 weeks, but I am hooked. I try not to eat too much because I know I have to put in what I ate and if it's too many calories or carbs or sugar, I get angry at myself. I also like it because I put in what I workout. The more I work out the higher my calorie count goes up, but I don't eat that because I try to stay under my calorie count (my original calorie count) every day!! GOOD LUCK!! :-)

    Hi Diana
    I'm relatively new to this site, but have found it a real eye opener to what I am actually eating!!
    And there is lots of support and advice available from everyone on here. Good luck and keep going and expect a couple of "bad" days.
    I am looking to lose about 3and a half stone for health reasons and have lost half a stone within the past 6 weeks and brought my bmi out of the obese bracket!!
    Good luck!!

    Hi Diana,
    I have been using this site for a little over a month now and have lost 27 pounds!! This is a great site to help you understand what calories are in the foods you eat. It is not about getting stressed out by what you eat but just learning to eat smarter. I still eat plenty enough to feel good during the day and I am still losing. I love this site it helped me go from starving myself to just learning to eat smarter and a little exercise and you can see results too!!

    Hi Diana,
    Welcome! I'm about 3 weeks here, and I've lost 10 pounds.
    Something that's helped me....whenever I feel the urge to sneak or cheat, I log on here and read the message board. It's inspiring, and a way to keep food out of my mouth!
    Good luck, and i'll look for you!

    Hi Diana,

    I too just joined and have a slightly elivated blood pressure that needs to be dropped. I do not want to spend the rest of my life on meds. Unfortunately I think some of mine is hereditary, but I know I can control alot better if I would loose some weight. This site really does look like there are alot of supporters here. I like that, helps to connect with people going through the same things.
