New to the site.

First time I am trying counting calories. I have tried to lose weight in the past and cant seems to keep it going past the 2-3 week barrier. I am set on sticking to it htis time. This site seems like it can actually work for me. I used to be quite active and over the past few years let myself go. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. Definitely look foward to the challenge. Good luck to us all!!!
