So here I am -- trying once again to lose weight to feel better about myself and gain some energy.

I've tried Atkins, South Beach, Fat Smash, the crazy soup diet, the Phenetrmine/Topamax diet, etc etc.... And, yes, here I am -- still fat. **haha**

I'm hoping there are people on here that will help me out, show me around the site, and maybe share some tips and tricks.

Happy New Year, all!

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Believe me, I've ALSO tried just about every diet out there, including hypnosis, TWICE! And nothing worked, until I came to MFP.
    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:

    Hi I suggest if you want to really get a good start on weight loss is join this Biggest Loser Club thing they have going on. It's like the biggest loser just on the web you give your start weight it runs the duration of the show and there are weekly weigh ins. It's a large group of us doing and it might help to have a group to work with. But what ever you choose to do good luck! :smile:
