Hey I'm new! :)

Good morning Hannah;

I think you will be glad you are here. It's a great tool. Just keep looking at the message boards and you will get lots of ideas and motivation. I would have loved to have access to a tool like this when I was your age but of course computers were just coming in to home use then! (Oooh, that makes me sound really old:noway: )

Have a great day. Have fun making your life what you want it to be.

Hi Hannah,
I started out on here 2 months ago with the goal of losing 7lbs before pool season. It was so easy to keep track of my eating and get accurate calorie counts that, to date, I've lost 16lbs and am down to a size 4. I don't use supplements but I have found that a high fiber intake really seems to help. I love to cook and have started using a site called sparkrecipes.com to track my cooking. They have a free recipe calculator that I enter my ingredients and can calculate the nutritional value for each meal that I make. That was a huge help. I get most of my recipes from Cooking Light or Eating Well and a few from Real Simple. I've also taken a few from Barefoot Contessa and just lightened them up myself. I'd be happy to email you a few if you need something to change it up. Last night was Garlic Chicken Pizza and the night before, Wild Mushroom Risotto. Who knew you could eat so yummy and still lose weight?
Good luck and I hope this works as well for you as it did for me!
Heather
