Hello everyone, I've signed up to this today and found it very interesting to see how many calories I actually added up by the end of the day! Went well over my count for the day but will have my focused head on tomorrow.

    It takes a while to get the hang of it so don't get discouraged. It's like a puzzle. Before you know it you'll be a pro. I enter a day ahead so I know my choices are good. If something changes I adjust it but it helps keep me on track. Welcome and good luck.

    Welcome!
    It took me a good week before I even got close to keeping in my calorie range. You can do it!
    Add me as a friend if you like!
    Good luck.

    I started planning my dinner the night before so know where to spend the rest of my calories! Makes having that slice of friday night pizza more enjoyable! I like being able to help my goal out with the calories I use up. This is a great site. Glad to have found it!
