Hello I am new here and excited about this. I look forward to charting my progress and learning new ways to stay motivated. I was banded June 29th and have lost 40lbs since surgery. Thank you Yankeegirl for tell me about this site.

    Hi, 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:

    Wow Im amazed with the response. This seems to be a real buzzing site.
    I was doing so good at first drinking enough water, but I've been slacking lately. I need to drink more during the day. Thanks for the encouragement!
    Im not sure how to track my foods yet but I plan on writing it down on a daily basis. I'll take any and all advise. Thanks in advance!

    welcome aboard. it's easy to track food if you use the food log. i find it really helpful to log my food before i eat it - it helps me make better food choice decisions. good luck and welcome.:flowerforyou:
