Hi

welcome, you should read the posts in 'YOU SHOULD READ THIS' posted a few minutes ago

lots of great information there

Hi Jessica and Karen, (and any other newbie's who happen to respond before I post this!)
Yes, DEFINITELY read the " you should read it" post, it REALLY WILL help answer alot of your questions.
Also, between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
