in Introduce Yourself
Hello All!
I am new to this. My Dr. is having me use this website to track my eating and exercising. I am 27 and am on meds for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. I have absolutely got to lose weight for the sake of my heatlh. Besides my health being motivation, I am also getting married in April 2009!! :love: MAJOR motivation! I'm hoping with the great tips I've seen on here and the help of my dr. that I will be able to reach my goals and stick to my diet plan.

    Hi Emily, and welcome! You came to the right place, cuz you REALLY WILL lose weight here!
    Between the daily food log and all the wonderfully supportive members, the weight "practically" falls off!
    I recommend logging all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than after, since it tends to lead to better food choices. You might also want to weigh and or measure such things as meats, rather than just guessing with the amounts.
    Drink lots and lots of water too, it not only helps fill you up, it's great for the complextion!
