    Hi Tracy, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    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:

    Hey Bren, thanks for the info. I would have to say that you have given me the best advice so far with having me log my foods BEFORE i decide what to eat! Went over in my calories by 63 yesterday without logging first. Will be on target today by logging the foods first! My dd has been doing that for a while now and I always wondered why she was so adament about doing it that way. Now I get it! I'm also seeing that many ppl are using a HRM. I have one around here someplace that I will dig up! I do have a treadmill here in my home as well as a full gym machine and free weights. I really have NO EXCUSES!! So dont let me give you guys any lip ok?!! =)

    Have a great day!

    You are very welcome! I REALLY think it's soooooooo much better to log first, (if possible!) so that you know what kind of numbers you have left to work with. Plus, some things that you just wouldn't expect to have tons of numbers might. So forwarned is forarmed! :smile:
