    Hi, and welcome. You have definitely come to the right place to help you!
    MFP REALLY, REALLY works! Between the easy food log (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL lose the weight that you want, AND, it'll ALMOST be easy to do!
    I recommend logging all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than after, as it tends to lead to better food choices. PLUS, when you know your numbers, you'll know if you've got enough left over for a good night time snack, like I do with my Edy's slow churned, no sugar added icecream. YUM! :laugh:
    Also, drink lots of water, it REALLY helps too.

    Thank you for the advice, any suggestions will be appreciated. I never manage to stick to anything more than a few weeks, so I hope I can stick to this for the long run.

    I'm going to be looking for things to replace some of my favorites that won't do as much damage.

    Hi there!

    Welcome! I agree with you this is the easiest site that I have found as well and it is FREE! It's a bonus. I wanted something that was like Weight Watchers online, but did not cost so much. Mike did a wonderful job with this site, it pretty much counts the calories for you!

    I understand that it is a struggle. I have had weight issues since I was a child. When I started high school I was like Oprah, fat, skinny, fat, skinny. But, it was all the unhealthy way. I found out some things that have cause my weight gain (PCOS is a big factor that I have had all my life). So, that may be a challenge, but I refuse to give up and refuse to let this kill me. My little man needs his mommy to play with him.

    Good luck in your success. You can and will do it! Do not think of this as a "DIET", think of this as a new beginning to feeling good!

    Hugs!

    Shari
