    Welcome! A friend of my from high school turned me to myfitnesspal and I can't thank them enough. It's been the best tool ever. At first I just used it for the calorie counter & exercise log but then I realized there are a lot of great people out there. The blogs & message boards are a big help to me - just a reminder that I'm not alone,

    Have a great week!
    Teri :smile:
