Thankful for accountability etc here.

    Welcome @pattymom1000 and @tymjennings to this amazing community. There is just so much love, encouragement, accountability, whatever you are looking for is here! I have found that logging every bite I eat and what I drink, keeps me accountable to myself. It only works if you use it and record everything, but I promise if you do, it will work. I also recommend that you buy a scale for weighing your food. I'm down 37 pounds since the end of May. I didn't get here until the end of July but it has been so much easier since I've been using this site.

    Hicampfire thx for the info! Congrats on 37 pounds since May....that is fabulous I do log every bite which no doubt has kept me from gaining.. I do have a food scale and am using it more and more lately....it does help. I think I've been lacking in the community department, so am thankful to get to meet you and join in this encouraging group of people who understand... have a great week....

    Another best tip from me is to read the Success Stories, they are so inspiring. I especially love the NSV (non scale victories) stories. They really make you want to do this thing and join the ranks of the healthy and happy!
