@robinsond73 With only 2 Posts that tells me you are new to MFP and the Forums.
I recommend some good reads for you to start this journey as my "incredibly generic advice" when someone is new to MFP.

http://fit101.org/the-step-by-step-guide-to-losing-weight-with-myfitnesspal/

At the Top of most Forums you will see a Discussion with the Words Announcement underneath them. As an example go into the General Diet and Weight Loss Forum.
general-diet-and-weight-loss-help

You will see 2 Announcement Posts ( Closed ) and a list of additional posts by members. If you open the Announcement Post you will see a list of Links to posts that are a great source of information.
