Just started my program today, joined a gym and this site was recommended, I am so excited bout this, it makes things easy as far as eating and takes most of the guess work out of counting calories. I will try to use it faithfully everyday for every meal.

    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:

    Welcome aboard! I have yet to lose any weight but I have also yet to weigh myself :tongue: I love the food journal - it really does make counting calories a snap.

    Welcome! Be sure to use the advice given on the previous entry, it truly works! Look at your journey as a change in lifestyle, NOT a diet. Diets imply that your changes are a temporary fix. I hate the word diet used as a verb! :noway:
