    Welcome to MFP Tina ... you will find that the daily food log is what helps you the most ... although the people on here can be very helpful also ... or sometimes they will scold you.

    The food database takes a bit of getting used to being used, but it does help you to see how many calories you are eating in a much easier fashion than looking it up in a book and writing it down on paper.

    Just be patient and give youself some time to get used to using it. I have logged my food for a couple of years now and notice that I go completely off my plan when I skip logging.

    I've also learned how to better judge my portions so that when I verify the weights on a scale it comes up extremely close to what I think it is.

    Good luck. We are all trying to get ourselves together. I will turn 70 in a couple of months.
