I have tried SOOO many diets in my life and have always had a problem with my weight and had a poor self-image (parent making fun of my weight as a teenager didn't really help my self-image). I have recently hit a new high(weight) and decided that it is time to seriously do something about it. I just can't live like this.

I found a link to this website through another message board. After looking around a little, this may be exactly what I need to help me. It gets so tedious keeping track of food and excercise in a notebook. I really like how easy this site seems to be to use. I hope I can stick with it this time. I just need a support system where I can see progress (I'm an accountant so I guess I need to see the numbers :laugh: )
