    hello and welcome to mfp.com it is all about being informed and making better decisions. there are no short cuts or tricks no magic pills or shakes just a lot of hard work and determination. i will tell you not to deny yourself anything if you want it have it but no that what you have will show up on your body! i love cookies and i have them often (shh don't tell) but i do that b/c i work out hard and i eat right more than i eat wrong. i will have veggies first, fruit next and work out for an hour then if i have calories to spear i will have a cookie or two. just be mindful of what you eat, and work hard at reaching your goal and it will happen i am sure. good luck! make me a friend if you want.

    I have had a lot of success on this site due to the constant encouragement of my friends. I feel motivation is the key. Add me if you like. I find eating a good breakfast is the start to having a good day with the food. If I am hungry all day I won't eat right.
