:smile: Hello, Just an introduction. This is my very first day. Greatest challenge? Listing the food - not because I'm eating so much be that I didn't want to eat anything!! Of course, my hunger overcame that problem. Here's to a healthy relationship and an ultimate healthy outcome.

    Welcome! You will get to love listing your food and you might like being creative with your calories. It's always fun to see if I come in under or right on the mark. Best of luck!

    Welcome and congratulations for making the choice to get healthier.

    Take it from someone who has only used the site for 2 months, it gets easier, and addictive. LOL. With the help of this site and exercising I have already lost 13 lbs. So it does work. If you need motivation add me as a friend or check out the success stories thread or motivation/support thread.

    Good luck and Godspeed.

    Welcome! I love MFP and I think you'll end up enjoying it, too! You'll see other people succeed and fail (but mostly succeed) and be human and you'll learn a lot from it :D

    I also highly recommend www.fat2fitradio.com they have taught me a LOT about losing weight healthy! You can listen on their website, or download their podcasts to iTunes.

    Good luck!

    Welcome!!! Hey look at this as a learning process. The more I log the more I learn. I have never watched calories I just ate what I wanted. But thats how I got here.

    Wow! What a great site! I've already had invitations for friends and I'm so excited! Just the interaction helps with the somewhat drudgery of counting those calories! I have a question.....what do you do about hunger? I mean the stomach is growling, I can eat a bear hunger? LOL I have to be truthful and tell you that it's been a LONG time since I was hungry... I made sure of that! :) Thanks for all the supportive responses!

    When I am starving I make sure I have a very good meal...like some yummy baked chicken breast with lemon pepper or mrs. dash with lawry's seasoning salt and a salad and if I'm super hungry I will add rice or a potato to the list as well.
