    :smile: Welcome! This is an amazing tool that I love because I can have it on my phone! When I get that crazy temptation for a Sonic hot dog, I just punch it in and it reminds me that it is 450 calories! I love how mobile it is! You will do great. And remember that you are doing this not as a diet but as a lifestyle change that will allow you to enjoy the latter years of your life!

    Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey. I was over 200 pounds when I started to diet and lose weight bout a year ago. Since then, I have lost 43 pounds. It has been a long and rough road. I am lucky to have my hubby to help me out through this. He is my coach at the gym and here at home. Sure, I crave chocolates and sweets, but I do eat them in moderation. I used to eat a whole candy bar. Now, when I crave a candy bar, I get it and eat half of it and give the other half away or I just get some fruit. Chewing gum will also help. Again, good luck. We are here for you!!

    Thank you everyone! The gum suggestion does help by the way and it is only 4 calories. :smile:
