    Welcome :smile: .

    I love to give tips and they are:
    1) Log it BEFORE you eat it, this can help you make wise choices :tongue:
    2) Weigh and/or measure everything, my eye was much larger than actual amounts :noway:

    Wishing you much success :drinker:

    Hi Sherry, and welcome!
    You came to the perfect place to help you lose weight! Between the easy to use food diary, and all the wonderfully supportive people here, you WILL lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy! It's also fun and very addicting!
    I recommend logging all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than after, as it tends to lead to better food choices. You might also want to weigh and or measure some things, such as meats, instead of just "guessing".
    Drink lots and lots of water too! It really helps!
    Good luck, and welcome to the family!!!

    Welcome aboard.

    I have only been with the program two weeks and it is a easy one to follow.

    Just be sure to list anything that goes past those pretty lips.:laugh:

    Good luck.

    Thank you Carole and everyone for the support. I had recently ordered the Coheso digital handheld calorie counter but it seemed difficult to use. That is why I looked online and this is what I found. 3 good days so far. I have worked out every day and so far, it is telling me today I am not consuming enough calories, based on 45 minutes exercise.
