Hello there. I have got a huge amount of weight to lose and decided to joint this website for some moral support but I have fell at the first hurdle because I can't even fill in my food diary correctly! I am going on the search database to find the food that I have eaten but don't know how to enter it in my diary - the Help section says there should be a grey box to the right of the screen but I can't see it. Can anybody point me in the right direction please!!

    Go to food, then food diary, and you will see add food under each meal. You can't add a food to your diary from the datbase tab. You can to it! It's not a fall, just a stumble :laugh: If you still don't get it, reply and I'll try and help more.

    I'm with ouryear, this is just a momentary technological snafu and is definitely no reason to feel like you fell! Welcome on board!!

    You must all think I'm stupid!!

    Last night I still couldn't find the box that allowed me to write entries into my food diary so I gave up trying. I logged on in work today in my lunch hour and the screen looked different to what it did at home - it was so easy to fill in - I must have a computer glitch at home. Now I have no excuses so I am making a determined effort to start my healthy eating today.
