I am back

@dalethompsonbrumfield

Welcome back

I recommend you read MFP Most Helpful Post, at the beginning of this MFP message board
Here is a link
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest
Buy yourself a food scale, weigh everything you ingest, log it at MFP
If you eat at a deficit ( calories burned higher than calories ingested), your body weight will decrease
Good luck in your healthy journey
