New to this....need support and i'm here to offer it

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!
