Hello!

I joined two weeks ago, and have been finding this counting calorie thing to be a bit more difficult than anticipated. :) I weight 166 lbs - the most ive ever weighed... and am trying to get back down to 130-135. I have been trying to shake the weight for about 4 yrs now, but instead of steadily decreasing, it's been quite the opposite. I think I just need an *kitten* kicker to hold me accountable for a little while until I can get back in the groove. I am not "dieting" -- I am trying to make a lifestyle change. I have a dangerous family history, and with the odds against me, I've got to do everything I can to give myself a fighting chance!

    I know what you mean! It's only day 3 for me, and I've been keeping up with it, but it does take some discipline. And you're right about making a lifestyle change rather than just "dieting." It's not going to be easy, but it'll be well worth it :)

    Counting calories is tough but if you have the type of cellphone to download apps then you should definitely download the my fitness pal app. Downloading the app is what really helped me make better decisions on what to eat when I am not home. If not then keep a food diary with you at all times and make sure when you have a bad day that you still make good decisions and not eat tons of ice cream.

    YES! I love the app! I feel obsessive using it at every meal tho. So far I've been good sticking with the hhabit of logging every thing... that is until the weekend comes and I fall off the band wagon / my fiance wants Chipotle :/...
