I've been watching & reading for a couple of weeks, using the plan & keeping track of things i've been eating. Its probably the best tracker I've ever tried. My first goal is 30lbs. Already at 19lbs. Feel much, much better. After the first 30, I'll have to reset my goals. Been able to stay in a healthy range with carbs, fats, protein, but not so good with sodium. Trying to eat vey few processed foods & that helps a lot. My blood pressure has dropped at least 10 points, even after exercise. My goal is to get back on my bicycle again this summer, & since I'm reaching senior status, I just want to feel good my last years. Not looking to increase my longevity, but would like to feel good while it lasts. I can't believe how much I was kidding myself when I thought I wasn't doing to bad before I started to count all calories. I must have been eating 5,000 a day at least & would be afraid to know how much sodium I consumed. Everything was fast food & frozen cuz I hate to cook. Enough for now. I'm just glad I found this site. It makes it easier.......Mike
