Hi Mary, 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:

Hi Mary,
I am a newby also and have found this site to be great. I joined 1/6/09 and have lost 6 lbs so far.

Hang in there,! know you can do it.

I feel like I am doing OK, i eat my 1200 calories a day and i am exercising at least 4 days a week, is it normal for me to only loose 1-2 pounds a week. Is it OK for me to have chips an other snacks from time to time if it is within my 1200 calories? HELP!!!!

sexymotherof3....:drinker: Yes, it's a healthy amount to lose between 1-2 lbs per week depending on the amount you're looking to lose.:flowerforyou:

Sure chips or whatever you chose as snacks/meals are completely your choice as long as you get in some healthy foods of course:laugh: Everything in moderation:drinker:

Best to you on your journey:drinker:
