    Hi, and welcome! You've got every right to be excited! This IS the best place on the web! MFP REALLY, REALLY works!
    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 and welcome
    Its a great site and I'm sure you will achieve your goals. It was good to see where everyone was from as for the logging of foods I found it surprising how much was in the data base and it surprised me how quickly you can add your daily foods I log on in the evenings and within a few minutes its done.
    Its working well for me.

    By the way I'm from Cornwall, England

    haha.. Sometimes I will log my food while eating it... then stop eating it because It was going to throw me way off... but yes i agree "log ALL your foods BEFORE you have them"
