Wish me luck!

I recently quit smoking... a two-week visit to the US (paradise of the super size servings and high-calorie foods) and then Christmas visit home with the family and it just happened.... Another 10 pounds added on top of the 15 I already wanted to get rid off... so here I am.

I am having trouble with the quantities, it's not clear to me what is an oz, or how to add meals like an omelet with cheese and mushrooms or a soup with some meat and vegetables... do you have any tips on how to figure this out approximately. It doesn't need to be very accurate.

Other than that, love the site and I hope I will be really using it. I guess making some friends will keep me hooked to logging in and adding my foods and exercise... love skiing and swimming...

Ok, that should be enough now... looking forward to some reply ;-)

Best regards from Sarajevo.
