    Counting Calories! If you see how many calories consume and how much exercise it takes to burn those calories, you feel quite motivated not to eat so much! E.g one chocolate has 205 calories and to burn these you have to run 20minutes @ 8mph. That is quite fast!

    Hope you will enjoy this site and start losing weight soon!!
    NJOY!

    I got two of my friends to join the site that were very serious about losing some weight were doing the site together and also being exercise buddys. It helps to have the site but also to have someone to do it with. Its great been on since Sunday and I have lost almost 3 pounds just by adding exercise and watching my calories. i read and article yesterday that said this is the number one way to help you loose weight by keeping a food & exercise journal, it also stated that people who do this loose double the amount then people who pop the diet pills and exercise and not keep a journal. Good luck!!

    I completely agree! You WILL love it here! Welcome to the best site on the web!
    I might suggest that you log your food BEFORE you eat it, that way you might want to make better, other choices. I sometimes put in 2 and even 3 days worth of foods, just so that I know EXACTLY what I'll be doing number wise.

    Welcome :flowerforyou:

    The only thing I will add is to weigh and/or measure everything, my eye was much larger than actual amounts :noway:

    Wishing you the very best :drinker:
