Welcome to MFP. Good luck in your journey.

welcome:bigsmile:

Welcome, and good luck with your weight loss. I've found that using the calorie tracker is very helpful, even though I swore I'd never be able to follow up with it. However, it gives you a good idea of the amount that you need to be taking in, and after a few weeks, you can pretty much guess within a hundred calories or so what you've done each day.

As far as the tips and advice offered on here, keep in mind that for every opinion on here, for the most part there are equal and opposite opinions.....so take them all with a grain of salt. I take a few that make sense to me and find a "middle ground" that works for me and that I know I'll follow up on.

There are many on here that go to extremes one way or the other, so keep that in mind. maybe it will work for you to go that route, not so much for me. There are many on here that will offend you, and many that will be easily offended by you. Dismiss those folks and you'll find that the majority on here are even-keeled.

Learn the terms "butt hurt" and "newbie"....it will take you far on these boards.

I'm new too! Feel free to add me. I can cheer you on x
