    Hi MeMe,
    This site really does help. You just need to be determined. Don't look at this as a diet. Look at as a good way to change eating habits . The food diary really taught me alot. Portion control is a great tool. I don't do the mindlesseating I used to. I am trying to maintain now but I log everyday. It would be to slip back into bad habits. I have lost and gained a few times in my life. I am 55 and really wanted to get this under control befoe I get to retirement age. Walking has been my go to excercise, it is easy and I can do it anywhere. So et determined and you will be successful. Sending you a friend request. There is strength in numbers.

    If you just started this month, it will take a little time to familarize yourself with MFP. Believe me you will love this site and there
    is so much SUPPORT and MOTIVATION, from the people you choose as your friends. Just hang in there and don't beat yourself
    up because you went over your calories. Know how you feel, I am a diabetic also.
