Well, Hi there. My friend introduced me to this website and I started yesterday. It's so cool that it's free, and sort of like a social network too.

Well, I'm a 52 year old woman who has just really been naughty and let myself go. Ick. I want to lose 24 pounds. I've tried about a million times. So we'll see how this goes.

    Welcome and Good Luck.
    Log on everyday and take it slow. Educate yourself on healthy foods and try to stay away from processed and fast foods. Eat lots of fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains and fresh meats and fish. Cook for youself. Don't buy thing that are going to tempt you. If it's not in the house you can't eat it. Get healthy snacks. Read the lables and watch PORTIONS> If you get yourself a food scale it really helps you with portion control. Log in your foods before you eat them. If the numbers are too high make another choice. It's like a puzzle. Once you make all the pieces fit, you are able to see the whole picture

    Welcome! My best advice is to log your food EVERY day...every bite...even if you have been "bad". It makes a world of difference to me when I am logging vs. not logging. Friend me if you like. I find that I am far more likely to log in everyday when I know that there are people on here that notice if I don't.

    Best of luck! You CAN do this...
