    Hi, and welcome!
    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 Jsl12778, I am just gonna say that You can do it. I log in my meals as soon as eat them this way I know how much I have to work with for the rest of the day. Logging all your foods before you have them is also a good idea. I have not done this because I am new myself so for the time being I will take it step by step. After a while if you eat a certain food item repeatedly you will be able to count the calories right of the bat even before you note them. At least this is the way it is for me:happy:

    A friend told me about this site and it is the best thing I ever could have done was join here, I tell all my friends about it when they ask me how I am losing weight. I have been here since Decemeber 31st, but I officially started on New Years Day and I have already lost 13 pounds, but it not just that, I have way more energy than I did before I started. Good luck on your weight loss journey, you can do this.

    hi to all im sure i can do this it will be easy most likely i have just found it strange that the amount of hard excorcise that i do on a daily basis that i have gained weight not lost it so im changin up my eating habits im not doin the same workout that i was before so i no longer need a 3000 cal diet i need less so i just am using this to help me monitor it better

    ok so i been doin all thte stuff on here for my food count and it has been interesting. i have been fightin the urge to snack heavily i havent been so bad at it but not so good either. its also hard to count when your eatin mre's.

    I would not want to have to eat them.:frown: Can you or I should say do you spread your meals to smaller more frequent meals. That helps me with the snacking because it's already plugged into my day. Good luck and welcome!:drinker:

    at work we dont get alot of time to eat in the field so we just grab an mre eat it and drive on without to much stoppin to take a snack break. and i dont get much of a choice in the field as to what i eat its mre or nothin. ive taken to eatin the main course and one other thing in the pack to get to around 500 cal per meal that has seemed to help with that but i snack hard when i get home cause we dont get snackies out past the wire i have to keep an eye on this stuff.
